How Eric Trump spent his weekend before dad Donald’s arraignment
Eric Trump hit the town with wife Lara Trump over the weekend — despite his father Donald Trump’s arraignment.
Sources exclusively tell Page Six that the couple, along with eight other guests, dined at Blackbird Modern Asian in Jupiter, Fla., Saturday.
We hear the large party arrived around 9 p.m. local time and enjoyed their dinner in the same room as famed NBA player Michael Jordan and his wife, Yvette Prieto, who was celebrating her 45th birthday.
“Neither table acknowledged the other,” our insider shares, adding that both parties have frequented the hotspot before.
Despite the highly social outing over the weekend, both Eric, 39, and Lara, 40, got back to business to support the former president in his legal battle with Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg.
The 45th president, 76, was arrested Tuesday in New York City and pleaded not guilty to the 34 felony counts of falsifying business records he’s facing during his arraignment in Manhattan Supreme Court.
Todd Blanche, one of Trump’s lawyers, said after the proceedings that Donald was frustrated, upset and angry about the charges.
“We’re going to fight it. We’re going to fight it hard,” he said, adding about Donald, “But I’ll tell you what — he’s motivated. And it’s not going to stop him. And it’s not going to slow him down. And it’s exactly what he expected.”

By Tuesday afternoon, Donald was back at his Mar-a-Lago estate and addressed the nation with both Eric and Lara by his side.
Former first lady Melania Trump, however, was nowhere to be found — and neither was Ivanka Trump.
Page Six exclusively reported that instead of attending the live speech, Ivanka, 41, visited her father at Mar-a-Lago Sunday.
The decision was seemingly made to show her support for him privately after she distanced herself from his latest White House campaign.
Ivanka managed to visit the estate without being photographed, but the real estate titan was at one point seen golfing at his private club.
After a grand jury’s vote to indict Donald last week, Ivanka posted on Instagram, “I love my father and I love my country. Today, I am pained for both. I appreciate the voices across the political spectrum expressing support and concern.”
