But his testimony was overshadowed by a testy back-and-forth between Justice Arthur F. Engoron and one the Trump lawyers over the judge’s law clerk, Allison Greenfield.
The lawyer, Christopher M. Kise, repeatedly objected to the clerk communicating with the judge through notes and suggested she has a bias.
In his testimony Friday, Eric Trump consistently batted away questions about what he knew of the Trump Organization’s financial statements, claiming he did not know the granular details.
During hours on the stand on Thursday in State Supreme Court in Manhattan, Eric Trump and his older brother, Donald Trump Jr., had blamed outside accountants for errors in company financial statements.
The documents are at the heart of the civil case, which accuses the brothers, their father and the family’s Trump Organization of defrauding banks and insurers.
