BREAKING: Trump Junior testifies for the second time in New York Attorney General Letitia James’ $250 million fraud trial against Donald Trump and his family business, tells a whopping lie that will surely backfire on him and his father…

Under oath today, Trump Jr. declared that it was a “mistake” for Trump and his family to not have pursued any “new deals” while Donald Trump was president, testifying, “In retrospect, that was probably a mistake.”

Trump Jr. continued, declaring that “everyone” claimed that “we were still doing” deals, so it didn't really matter and we got no credit for it.”

Unbelievably, only minutes later, Trump Junior contradicted himself, admitting under oath that he started working on “bigger picture deals” soon after his father was sworn in as president in 2017.

Tellingly, Donald Trump Junior made no mention of the various ways that, according to Forbes, Donald Trump and his family enriched themselves while Trump was President to the tune of a whopping $2.4 BILLION dollars, even including, according to Politico, the fact that, “state-owned companies in China, Saudi Arabia and South Korea are built Trump resorts while Trump was President, a Chinese state-owned company was awarded a multimillion dollar contract to help develop a Trump golf course in Dubai amid a U.S.-China trade war,” that “T-Mobile executives stayed at Trump’s Washington hotel while seeking a green light from the federal government for a merger,” and that “the IRS commissioner, who refused to release Trump’s tax returns to Congress, collects rent from a pair of Trump condos in Hawaii.”

But that’s just the tip of the iceberg…

According to Politico, “Trump promoted his properties dozens of times while in office, mentioning them in official remarks, everywhere from the United Nations to the Oval Office, and in tweets to his more than 60 million followers, with the frequency increasing each year he’s been president. He tweeted about Trump International Scotland, melding his businesses and his presidency in the message. “Very proud of perhaps the greatest golf course anywhere in the world. Also, furthers U.K. relationship!”

Trump also tried to hold the 2020 G-7 world leaders’ summit at his financially struggling Trump National Doral Miami resort.

But he reversed course after days of intense scrutiny from Democrats and Republicans, who complained he would be lining his pockets with both U.S. and foreign government money. Trump and his adult children frequently Trump resorts around the globe on vacation and on business trips, forcing the Secret Service and other federal agencies accompanying them to spend taxpayer money at Trump properties. The Secret Service spent more than $250,000 at Trump properties during a five-month period in 2017.”

Then, Ivanka Trump’s husband Jared Kushner inked a massive $2 billion dollar deal with Saudi Arabia just weeks after Trump left the White House in early 2023.
