Eric Trump says he was not involved with documents at heart of fraud trial

Ex-president's second son says he relied on accountants and lawyers to check financial records judge has ruled to be fraudulent

Eric Trump, one of the two sons trusted to run Donald Trump's real estate empire, testified on Friday that he was not involved with the financial documents a judge has ruled to be fraudulent, in a trial that threatens to hobble his family's business.

In a second day on the witness stand, the former US president's second son said he relied on outside accountants and lawyers to check financial documents. His older brother Donald Trump Jr made the same argument in his testimony earlier this week.
