During a recent interview, Eric Trump, the executive vice president of the Trump Organization and son of former President Donald Trump, expressed his strong opinions on the ongoing legal proceedings involving his father. Eric Trump criticized the judge presiding over the case, alleging corruption and bias in the courtroom.
He highlighted what he perceived as a lack of fairness in the trial, claiming that witnesses were being turned down and that the court proceedings were one-sided. Eric Trump also pointed out the timing of the sentencing, scheduled just four days before the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee, suggesting a deliberate attempt to undermine his father's political standing.
Despite the legal challenges faced by his father, Eric Trump emphasized the overwhelming support they received from the public. He recounted a recent event where he and his father were greeted by a crowd of 40,000 people chanting 'USA, USA, USA' in a show of admiration for Donald Trump.

Eric Trump further criticized the prosecution's focus on a $130,000 payment made eight years ago, which he argued was wrongly portrayed as a felony offense. He contrasted this legal pursuit with the ongoing crime issues in New York, such as a recent incident involving a man wielding a machete in Times Square.
Asserting that the American people see through what he described as a 'sham' and 'corruption,' Eric Trump highlighted his father's continued popularity and a recent poll showing an increase in support for Donald Trump. He concluded by stating that the public does not believe the allegations against his father and remains steadfast in their backing of the former president.
