Eric Trump's tragic Fox News interview

Speaker 1: After Michael Cohen's very damaging  testimony in Donald Trump's criminal trial  

yesterday, Donald Trump's son, Eric Trump  appeared on Fox News, I believe, with,  

Laura Ingram. It was a very, very, very disastrous  appearance. And the reason it was so bad is that  

in attempting to do damage control, Eric Trump  contradicted either the facts of the case,  

the legal situation, or the legal argument  that Trump's defense attorneys are making.  

So I'm going to give you an example here in this  segment, Eric Trump says they are talking about  

this entire Eric Trump claims the entire trial  is about $130,000 payment that Trump made in an  

interview in an individual capacity and booked on  his personal ledger as a legal expense. But that  

doesn't match up with what Trump previously  said. So let's hear from Eric Trump. You do  

have to listen carefully to understand the full  scope of the dishonesty of these people. This is  

actually a disastrous interview, but let's listen. Speaker 4: And yet they're going back to $130,000  

payment that a man made in his individual capacity  that he booked on his personal ledger as a legal  

expense because it was paid to his longtime  attorney. And he gets 30 for felonies. Remember,  

Al Capone got one felony hit. My father gets 34. Speaker 1: This simply doesn't match up with what  

Donald Trump has previously said. Eric Trump's  apologia here conflicts with what Trump previously  

said. Trump said that these payments were being  made for legal services that Michael Cohen was  

performing each month in 2017. Now they have a  problem. The invoices involved in the hush money  

have Allen Weisselberg handwriting. He was the  CFO of the Trump Organization, so they are now  

changing the story to it was $130,000 payment made  personally to Michael Cohen, but they structured  

this as monthly payments to hide the fact that  these were campaign funds. And so Eric Trump's  

defense of his dad contradicts Donald Trump's  own defense of himself. Eric Trump then says,  

you know, if these NDAs were such a problem,  then every organization would have a problem  

with these NDAs. The problem there is the defense  is saying Trump didn't have anything to do with  

the NDAs. Anyway. Eric Trump is saying the NDAs.  Fine. There's no problem that my dad was involved  

with it. The defense is saying Trump had nothing  to do with the NDA. Wait a second. That's another. 

Speaker 4: Point. I mean, I'd say the crimes  anyway, even if he did say forced or not,  

NDAs are complete. Yeah, that's my that's  the point I would. Every single day by  

every single organization. By the way,  every organization, including this one,  

would go down in flames if an NDA was was  illegal. Because every single organization,  

every single person has that in that world. Speaker 1: The defenses. Trump had nothing  

to do with any of the three NDAs that are related  to this entire fiasco. So then why does it matter  

if they are okay? Why does it matter if other  companies use NDAs? And every defense of Trump  

in total has the same sort of trajectory? He  definitely didn't do it. He was set up. It  

wasn't illegal when he did it. It also isn't true  that he did it. It's also done by everybody else.  

You're misunderstanding what he actually. It's  always the same endless cycle of lies to try  

to defend this guy. And then lastly, and this  is maybe the most telling part of the entire  

interview with Laura Ingram. Laura Ingram asks  multiple times. Did Trump personally sign off on  

everything? Because Michael Cohen testified that  Trump personally signed off on everything, and  

Eric Trump doesn't want to answer that question. Speaker 4: Why stop at 34? Cohen says that he  

called your dad to make sure that he approved of  what he was doing, and that he would be reimbursed  

for everything he required Mr. Trump sign off  basically on everything. That's what he repeated  

throughout the day. Here's a really interesting  because he kept a delayed and delayed and delayed,  

and Michael Cohen kept on making excuse. They  couldn't get the payment. And then he finally  

comes down on one of the emails and says that,  well, I can't get in touch with everything. Your  

dad, you know, I can't get in touch with with  the president. You know why? Because he's in  

Iowa and he's campaigning in every swing state. Speaker 1: I hope you're noticing that Eric  

is just ignoring the question.  He's just stepping right over. 

Speaker 4: He couldn't get him. You know, it's  really amazing how he comes out. And I mean,  

the email chains clearly show this. But,  Laura, that's not what this is about.  

They want to take my father down in New York.  They want to do it civilly. They want to do it  

criminally. They want to do it in Georgia.  They want to try and do it in Washington,  

D.C. they go to the farthest left areas of this  country. They have radical prosecutors, all with  

one thing in common. They're all funded by Soros,  every single one. And they have a damn mission to  

go after Donald Trump because he's winning. Speaker 1: There it is. So he's not going  

to answer the question, did your dad  approve everything the way Michael Cohen  

said under testimony, under oath during  his testimony, but instead he's going to  

blame George Soros? Classic. I think Eric  Trump needs to stop doing these interviews
