New York AG Fires Back at Eric Trump After He Seeks Delay in Trump Org Case Until After Election

Eric Trump's attorneys say he is unable to cooperate until after the election due to his "extreme travel schedule and related unavailability" and "to avoid the use of his deposition attendance for political purposes." https://t.co/y4qe5gnIL1

Eric Trump has proposed dates to sit for an interview with the New York attorney general's office for its investigation into the Trump Organization — after the election, according to a new court filing, per @KaraScannell.

Yes, yes, of course, in much the same way his dad released his tax returns right after the election

Lordy, Eric Trump isn't even *good* at defrauding people https://t.co/kHEPh2P6tB

He thinks he's above the law. I wonder where he learned that

He's hoping daddy will occupy the WH so he can be pardoned for any crimes. They should tell him NO, and get him in.

Every single person charged in NY should use these exact words for the rest of the Trump presidency for why they can't show up. If it works for the rich white male, it should work for everyone.

I'm not fluent in criminal, but I'm pretty sure Eric Trump saying he's willing to be interviewed by the New York AG's office but not until after election, directly translates to: “I'M A FLIGHT RISK!"

Eric is not the president, he is a civilian and not above the law. Get his to court!

Why is Eric Trump refusing to meet with the NY Attorney General's office until after the election?

Translation: "I'm fully guilty as sin. But you can't use this against me until after the election. Where I'll say you can't prosecute."

what is his government job? does he even have a job??

He's not supposed to be involved in politics as all, so there's that. He's supposed to be running the business.

That lame excuse should be rejected. If he doesn't turn up in court when he should be, he should be arrested for contempt of court.

Right?! Are we all allowed to be like “f$ck it, I don't feel like going to court today"?
