'Stupid' Eric Trump buried by Michael ​Cohen for walking into obvious trap at fraud trial

Raw Story  

Exclaiming, "How stupid do they have to be?' former Donald Trump lawyer Michael Cohen ripped into Eric Trump and Donald Trump Jr. for their testimony in the $250 million financial fraud trial being held in Manhattan, claiming Donald Trump's sons did more damage than help to the family's future. Appearing on MSNBC with host Ali Velshi, the former Trump fixer who also testified in the same trial against the Trump Organization, singled out one exchange between Eric Trump and a prosecutor that was an obvious trap — and the former president's son blithely walked right into it. Focusing on Eric Trump's repeated insistence he paid little to no attention to financial statements prepared by the Trump Organization where he is a senior executive, prosecutor Andrew Amer then produced internal emails that showed he was kept in the loop with fellow executives. That moment, Cohen claimed, was a major turning point in the trial as Judge Arthur Engoron ponders Eric Trump's credibility before making a determination on the financial penalty that could bring the company down and send it into receivership.
