Donald Trump's ex-attorney
Michael Cohen said on Saturday that the former president threw his son Eric Trump "
under the bus" in a newly-released deposition.
Trump's attorneys on Wednesday released a transcript of his April 13 deposition as part of New York Attorney General Letitia James's lawsuit into Trump's business dealings. James, a Democrat,
filed a $250 million civil lawsuit last year accusing the former president, the Trump Organization and three of his adult children of misrepresenting business assets to obtain favorable loans and tax benefits. They are also accused of inflating Trump's net worth by billions of dollars.
The former president has maintained his innocence in the case,
writing in a Friday Truth Social post that he was targeted and that he has a net worth "billions of dollars more than she [James] viciously and falsely claimed" after the New York attorney general alleged that he
inflated his net worth by as much as $2.2 billion in 2014 alone.
In his deposition, Trump said he had become less involved in the business in recent years. He stepped away from management after assuming office in 2017, delegating top roles to his children—though he continued to profit off his businesses while in office through 2021, sparking concerns about conflicts of interest.
