Eric and Donald Trump Jr. chose "losing strategy"— former prosecutor

Eric Trump and Donald Trump Jr. are not helping themselves by claiming they did not know about documents at the center of their New York fraud case, a former prosecutor has said.

"It's a losing strategy, first of all," said Catherine Christian, a former assistant district attorney in Manhattan. "Accountants prepare financial statements and tax returns based on the information that their clients give them. If the clients give them false information, their tax returns and the financial statements will be false," she said.
