Eric Trump, leaving court, criticizes case against his family
Standing in the courthouse hallway where his father earlier railed against his civil trial, Eric Trump echoed his father's attacks on the New York attorney general and the case levied against his family, following the adjournment of court for the day.
"We have an unbelievable company. We have some of the best assets anywhere in the world. We've never had a default. We've never missed a payment," Eric Trump said of the Trump Organization.
Like his father, he described the case as politically motivated and decried the involvement of his family.

"They've dragged Don and I and Ivanka into it as collateral damage," he said.
Later, addressing reporters on the courthouse steps, he said that the state's efforts should be focused elsewhere.
"Let's get the murderers off the street. Let's take care of the crime. Let's rebuild our infrastructure. Everywhere you drive in New York, you hit a pothole and your car gets destroyed," he said.
