NEW YORK (Reuters) – President Donald Trump’s son Eric is willing to be questioned in connection with a probe by New York’s attorney general into whether his father and the Trump Organization overstated the value of assets to obtain loans and tax benefits – if it can wait until after the Nov. 3 election.

In a Thursday court filing, Eric Trump’s lawyers said his “extreme travel schedule and related unavailability” and “the importance of avoiding any appearance of politicizing the investigatory process” justified the delay.

They also said they had proposed four dates for Eric Trump to be questioned in the civil probe, beginning on Nov. 19.

“Eric Trump has been, and continues to be, willing to appear pursuant to a subpoena,” the lawyers said.

1. his "extreme travel schedule and related unavailability"

[George II]

11. That's why he has the reputation of being the stupid brother, although he and junior flip flop.

2. There are no legitimate reasons to hold off until after the election so he needs to be arrested if

he refuses to testify and at that point if he has committed any crimes he can plead the fifth.

3. Oh Oh

I wonder if Eric is somehow mixed up in some corruption that the Southern District of New York has known about and now Eric is maybe going to throw his daddy under the bus to protect himself...

[Grokenstein]

14. He'll have a hunting "accident" first.

They know that he's a moron.
They know that, despite all the Gary Busey jokes, he's his father's son.
Watch for him to "vanish" soon.

[niyad]

4. Doesn't mean he will answer questions, or be truthful if he does.

[BigmanPigman]

5. He probably won't show up at that time either....

It's in the tRump DNA.

[Permanut]

6. Silly me..

I thought if I received a subpoena, I would be required to attend. Nice to know I have an option to just tell them I have travel plans.

[Paladin]

7. Happy landings, Fredo. (nt)

[marble falls]

8. So they're sending the other stupid brother. This should be good. After Don Jr's debunked ...

attempt of explaining the famous Trump Tower meeting, this should be good.

[Lonestarblue]

9. Just another attempt to delay.

No one is traveling much these days, especially to other countries because they won’t let us in, so where is he going with his extreme travel schedule? They’ll have another excuse after the election, or maybe they’ll all be on a one-way flight to Moscow.

[maxsolomon]

10. Amazing that they've been able to put off every inquiry for 4 years.

Both the Legislative and Judicial branches have been exposed as toothless by Trump.

[JohnnyRingo]

12. Because, by then the family will be in Moscow.

With the entire contents of Fort Knox.


Extended family vacation.

13. "is willing to be questioned?"

16. Is this Uday or Qusay?

I get them confused....

[keithbvadu2]

17. "Agrees"... "willing" - As if his word is any better than Daddy's.

20. What is this "willing to be questioned" noise?

Who the hell does he think he is? Subpoena his ass and toss him in the cooler if he fails to comply. I am getting fed up with these weasels.
