By Kara ScannellTwo staffers with Forbes magazine testified before the grand jury investigating the Trump Organization on Thursday as investigators focus on former President Donald Trump’s statements about his net worth. Prosecutors have been focused on the accuracy of Trump’s financial statements and whether he and the company misled lenders when seeking financing, CNN has reported. The Forbes reporters’ testimony indicates prosecutors want to get those quotes from Trump into the record before the grand jury as it considers questions about Trump’s finances. Trump’s statements about his net worth have attracted scrutiny for years and he was questioned under oath about them in the past, statements that prosecutors could scrutinize. Trump said in the deposition that Allen Weisselberg, his chief financial officer, helped prepare the financial statements.
