Donald Trump Jr. asked the courtroom sketch artist in the New York fraud trail to “make me look sexy” on his second day of testifying Thursday, reported Reuters.
This comes on top of a number of other revelations from the eldest son of the former president during the trial, including claims that he delegated all financial issues to accountants and wasn’t aware of any fraudulent evaluations, even while admitting he signed off on at least one.
According to Reuters, Trump Jr. stopped to talk to courtroom artist Jane Rosenberg as his testimony ended. He specifically mentioned her recent sketch of Sam Bankman-Fried, the cryptocurrency tycoon currently on trial for allegedly stealing money from banking clients at FTX to use on risky investments in his hedge fund.
This is the headline from his court appearance, not any of his testimony. It’s deliberate.
That’s because his testimony amounts to “I’m too fucking stupid to know how I was mismanaging the company”, which is likely partially true, but still not a defense that the court will accept.
