Donald Trump Jr. will be the first of his family members to give their story in the New York fraud trial against them.

Donald Trump Jr. will be the first defense witness in his family's civil fraud trial when it resumes on Monday.The 45-year-old was compelled to give evidence over two days last week in the New York Attorney General Letitia James' fraud case against him, his brother Eric, and their father, Donald Trump.James is suing the three Trump men and the Trump Organization for allegedly inflating their assets and net worths to deceive insurers, banks and others.

Given the former president's keen interest in the case and his attendance on many days when he was not compelled to give evidence, he is likely to testify for the defense. The Trump legal team is also to call four expert witnesses who will testify about accounting and property evaluation.In a rare victory, Engoron sided with the Trump lawyers and refused to block the four experts from testifying.
