Donald Trump Jr., Ivanka Trump and Eric Trump are set to appear in court this week to testify in the civil fraud trial against their father, former President Donald Trump, and the Trump Organization. New York Attorney General Letitia James has claimed that the Trump children were aware of and knowingly participated in a scheme to inflate the value of the Trump Organization's assets. Senior legal analyst Elie Honig explains that the Trump children could be "damned if they do and damned if they don't" when it comes to taking the Fifth Amendment. The $250 million civil fraud trial is set to begin Monday and could have major implications for the Trump family and the Trump Organization.
