Here's how Trump's kids plan to limit their legal liability in court: Legal expert
November 01, 2023
Former President Donald Trump's children are likely to try to separate their own behavior from that of each other in a desperate bid to limit their liability in the New York civil fraud case over the Trump adminstration's false property valuations, argued former prosecutor Charles Coleman on MSNBC Wednesday evening.
This comes after a day of testimony from Donald Trump Jr., who claimed he didn't know anything about the valuation documents tied to him and it was all low-level accountants doing the work.
"How would you be advising?" asked anchor Chris Hayes. "… you're not read into the full details because you're not their lawyer, but, like, it does seem a conundrum about how all the kids testified."

"I think one of the things that you saw from Don Jr.'s testimony today, after reading the transcript, is that they are going to likely try and put everyone in a silo in such a way that they are not necessarily connected their actions to the actions of their siblings in trying to minimize whatever level of connection exists between their actions and things they were responsible for, and the other people," said Coleman.
"I think that is something that is to be expected," he continued, "because it is the best way to minimize the notion of, this is something we're all in on and connected with."
After Donald Trump Jr.'s testimony, Eric Trump, Ivanka Trump, and the former president himself are all expected to give testimony as well. Ivanka is currently making a last-ditch appeal to try to get out of being compelled to testify.
