Former President Donald Trump and his three oldest children are taking the witness stand over the next two weeks.

Starting Wednesday, the legal team for the New York attorney general will call up members of the Trump family to testify in a civil trial that alleges fraud was knowingly committed by the Trump Organization and Trump himself.

Donald Trump Jr., who is a vice president of the Trump Organization, is slated to testify first, followed by his younger brother Eric, another vice president of the family’s landmark business. Both, alongside their father, are defendants in the trial.
