Eric Trump fiercely defended his father during a heated exchange with CNN host Chris Cuomo, rejecting suggestions that President Trump is targeting political opponents through federal investigations.
The tense moment unfolded after Cuomo pressed Eric on recent Justice Department actions against several high-profile Democrats. Eric accused Cuomo and other media outlets of pushing a biased narrative, arguing that the administration’s efforts are focused on accountability, not revenge.
“You’ve had years of corruption go unchecked,” Eric said, adding that his father “is restoring fairness and holding everyone to the same standard.” Cuomo countered that the White House’s moves appear politically motivated, sparking further debate between the two.
The interview ended abruptly after several minutes of back-and-forth, with Eric maintaining that the investigations are lawful and long overdue.
