34/ Rubin:

He notes the post-Weisselberg CFO, Mark Hawthorn, was deliberately kept far away from the statements of financial condition. In fact, he learned *during this trial* that information provided to Scottish auditors included cash belonging to Trump’s partner Vornado, which was not in Trump’s control.

That Eric and Don Jr. did not involve the one employee well versed in GAAP is further evidence of their intent, Amer argues.

32/ Rubin:

Engoron interrupts to ask about Don Jr. & Eric’s intent. “I don’t see the evidence.”

Amer’s response? They held themselves out to the world as co-CEOs and represented they were fulfilling their legal responsibilities as trustee or CEO and then “put their heads in the sand.” That kind of recklessness is enough from which the court can infer intent

Engoron: “But you are not claiming Don Jr. had actual knowledge of the fraud?” Amer allows Jr’s knowledge is more constructive knowledge.

NEW: Statement from the lawyers of the plaintiffs challenging Alabama’s ban:

29/ Rubin:

Also not credible? Eric Trump’s testimony that he knew nothing about even the existence of his dad’s statements of financial condition until this case.

Emails going back to 2012 shows Eric was not only aware of those statements, but provided them to members of a Trump-purchased golf club to encourage them to maintain their memberships.

27/ Rubin:

Trump also had a motive to exaggerate his net worth “to impress potential business partners and financial institutions” and did so by having his subordinates reverse engineer values of his assets from a target net worth number.

As for Don Jr. and Eric, they have now been at the helm of the Trump Org. for 7 years. They clearly have a motive to inflate Trump’s financial condition and exercised their authority to certify Trump’s financial statements.

Looking for a remote role based in the US. I'm a quality-focused engineering lead, best at Python. I build teams, and solve hard problems.

Been a people manager and IC for 9 years, created a global testing practice of 50+ people. Worked in consulting, so I'm fluent with talking to clients and sales.

Graduating a data science master's in October, GPA is 4.0 with 9 classes done, would love a data science role.

What the actual fuck?! Donald Trump gave his unhinged rant during closing arguments of the NY fraud trial anyway[*], and then stormed out of the courtroom!

Here's coverage from MeidasTouch:

Anyone else in the country who tried to pull that shit would be held in contempt of court and cooling off in a jail cell.
