Former President Trump is currently facing an unprecedented trial in Manhattan, where he is up against 34 felony counts for falsifying New York business records. The trial, now in its fourth week, has caused Trump to express frustration over being taken away from his campaign activities and family.
During the trial, Trump's son, Eric Trump, was seen attending court proceedings on April 30. Father and son were observed conversing before the trial commenced for the day.
Trump's youngest son, Barron Trump, also became a significant topic during the trial's commencement. Trump requested to leave Manhattan on May 17 to attend Barron's high school graduation in Florida. Initially met with resistance from Presiding Judge Juan Merchan, Trump's plea was eventually granted, emphasizing the importance of his presence in court daily.
Throughout the trial, Trump has taken to social media and media interviews to express his sentiments about his family. On April 26, he publicly wished his wife, Melania Trump, a happy birthday, lamenting his inability to celebrate with her in person.
Trump also shared a photo of himself with three of his grandchildren during the trial, showcasing his family ties amidst the legal proceedings.
Despite the charges brought against him, the former president has maintained his plea of not guilty and criticized the trial as a 'scam' orchestrated by the Biden administration in anticipation of the 2024 election.
