Eric Trump previously reacted to his father's New York City indictment in a March interview with Sean Hannity where he exhausted that people like Alvin Bragg and Letitia James campaign on the promise to 'take down a person'.

"You have Letitia James who's out there, 'I'm gonna go after his family, I'm gonna sue the hell out of the man,'" Eric said. "I mean, this is, these people are evil. They're wicked."

Eric, who serves as the executive vice president of the Trump Organization, was questioned by James’ office in October 2020. A judge forced him to testify after his lawyers abruptly canceled a previously scheduled deposition, according to The Associated Press. 

James issued subpoenas in January 2022 for Donald Trump Jr. and Ivanka in connection with the civil investigation into the family’s business practices.

James said at a news conference in September 2022 after she filed the lawsuit in New York Supreme Court that Trump "inflated his net worth by billions of dollars" and that his children, Donald Jr., Ivanka and Eric, helped him.

Ivanka was dismissed as a defendant in late June.
