re: Fraud Trial DAY 1-TRUMP Attacked Judge & Prosecutor in What Could End His Empire
TRUMP Appears at Fraud Trial in New York - 'It's a Sham' Says TRUMP
New York Attorney General Letitia James 'No One is Above The Law'
NY Attorney Seeks Damages, After TRUMP Found Liable For Fraud
BBC 2 OCT 2023
Former President Donald Trump has arrived at court to attend the opening of his New York civil trial
Trump committed fraud by repeatedly misrepresenting his wealth by hundreds of millions of dollars, a New York judge ruled last week
TRUMP is seated across from NY Judge Arthur Engoron he called 'deranged'
The NY attorney general is seeking a fine of $250m (£204m) and a ban on him doing business in his home state
Trump has called the lawsuit a politically motivated "witch hunt"
The Trump Organization could be forced to relinquish control of its properties or sell some of its landmarks
Trump, who built his political career on his fame as a billionaire real estate ace and master of "The Art of the Deal," appeared voluntarily for a trial that has high stakes for him.
New York Attorney General Letitia James' suit accuses Trump and his company of deceiving banks, insurers and others by habitually lying about his wealth in financial statements.
Judge Arthur Engoron already has ruled that Trump committed fraud in his business dealings. It is a non-jury trial, so Engoron will decide on six other claims in the lawsuit.
James, a Democrat, is seeking $250 million in penalties and a ban on Trump doing business in New York. The judge's ruling last week, if upheld on appeal, could force Trump to give up New York properties including Trump Tower, a Wall Street office building, golf courses and a suburban estate.
