Eric Trump

Eric Trump has publicly defended the allegations of Russian collusion surrounding both his brother and his father, calling the theory “the greatest hoax of all time.”

He has also denied that his father has any conflicts of interest. These denials contradict an interview Eric Trump gave in 2013 in which he reportedly boasted that Trump golf-course project received “all the funding [they needed]” from Russia, enabling them to continue developing properties despite the global recession. (Eric Trump later denied having discussed receiving Russian funds.) He currently serves as Executive Vice President of the Trump Organization and founded the charity previously known as the Eric Trump Foundation, which was accused of lying to donors and rerouting donations to other charities that are linked to the Trump family; the foundation denied these allegations. Although New York State Attorney General Eric Schneiderman was reportedly examining the Eric Trump Foundation, the results of this inquiry have not yet been reported.
