Transcript of Donald Trump Jr. calls civil fraud trial ‘disgrace’

I think they understand that they have nothing as it relates to a case other than, I guess, an overzealous attorney general who would destroy all of New York business by going after transactions where there are no victims. It's a disgrace that this is happening right now, but I think we'll make our points, we'll make our case, and we'll go on from there.

Donald Trump Jr. Testimony was very much like a promotional pitch. He walked through a number of their properties, more than a dozen, with glossy photos being projected onto the screen inside the courtroom. And he was describing what he said with his father as a visionary, saying that he was an artist, had he had transformed the lapidated buildings into spectacular estates and had transformed a swampland into a spectacular golf course and transformed the old post office building in Washington, DC, that he described as a war zone into one of the finest hotels in the world. The attorney general's office was objecting to even the whole use of this presentation, but the judge said that he had given the state six weeks to put on their case. So he was giving the Trump side time to put on theirs.
