In a recent interview with Fox News, Eric Trump, former President Donald Trump’s second son, launched a scathing attack on New York Attorney General Letitia James. He accused her of jeopardizing the livelihoods of thousands of his father’s employees through her politically charged lawsuit.
The lawsuit alleges that the Trump empire artificially inflated the value of its real estate portfolio, a claim that the Trump family vehemently denies. Speaking with Sean Hannity, Eric Trump said that AG James is not only threatening his family, but also hundreds of working-class families.
He stated, “Let’s not forget about the thousands of employees — these are maids, these are housekeepers, these are engineers, drivers, these are bellmen. People who literally rely on our families and our properties to put food on their tables every single night.” He further claimed that these individuals were collateral damage in AG James’s political games.
Eric Trump makes a great point. The persecution of President Trump in NY isn’t just impacting the Trump family – it’s impacting thousands of innocent employees whose jobs are at risk.

Eric Trump didn’t mince words when he expressed his opinion of AG James and her team, branding them as ‘cruel’ people who would do anything for political power. He vowed that both he and his father would continue to fight against what he described as an unthinkable situation.
Earlier this week, former President Trump defended his role in creating financial documents that AG James claims contained misleading information about various properties. These properties include Mar-a-Lago, which was recently downgraded in value by a New York judge, a decision the Trump family seeks to overturn.
The trial is being overseen by Judge Arthur Engoron, who has repeatedly fined Trump for criticizing courtroom staff and denied the 45th president the opportunity to read a financial disclaimer that accompanied the financial documents in question.
President Trump has used his four other criminal cases as examples of Deep State prosecution by the Biden Justice Department and Democratic prosecutors. Post-indictment polls and fundraising show that President Trump is winning over voters with his message of unfair prosecution at the hands of President Biden and his allies.
This ongoing legal drama continues to polarize public opinion, with supporters of the former president viewing it as a politically motivated attack, while critics see it as a necessary step toward accountability.
