Trump fraud trial: Defense scheduled to start presenting its case Monday
Former President Donald Trump is on trial in New York in a$250 million civil lawsuitthat could alter the personal fortune and real estate empire that helped propel Trump to the White House.
Trump, his sonsEric Trump and and Donald Trump Jr., and Trump Organization executives are accused by New York Attorney General Letitia James of engaging in a decade-long scheme in which they used "numerous acts of fraud and misrepresentation" to inflate Trump's net worth in order get more favorable loan terms. The trial comes after the judge in the case ruled in apartial summary judgmentthat Trump had submitted "fraudulent valuations" for his assets, leaving the trial to determine additional actions and what penalty, if any, the defendants should receive.
The former president has denied all wrongdoing and his attorneys have argued that Trump's alleged inflated valuations were a product of his business skill.
Court adjourned until Monday
Court has adjourned for the day, with the trial scheduled to resume Monday for the start of the defense's case.
The court will be closed Friday in observation of Veterans Day.
Donald Trump Jr. will return to the witness stand to testify as the defense's first witness on Monday, assuming the judge does not rule in favor of Trump's motion for a directed verdict to end the case early.
Judge denies NY AG's motion to quash 4 defense witnesses
Judge Engoron has denied a motion from the New York attorney general to preclude four expert witnesses from testifying for the defense when the defense presents it case starting on Monday.
The state had sought to preclude the four experts' testimony on the grounds that, following the testimony of the state's witnesses, the four defense witnesses were no longer relevant to the case.
"You've won the battle. We'll see if you win the war," Engoron told defense attorney Chris Kise -- though he warned Kise that he would cut off the witnesses if they try to debate facts already established in the case.
In making his ruling, Engoron reiterated his finding from his earliersummary judgment orderthat Donald Trump made at least ten internally contradictory claims in his statements of financial condition.
"You can't have a correct statement with these kinds of errors," Engoron said.
Kise told the court that Donald Trump Jr. will be the first witness to testify in the defense's case on Monday.
"Oh, I know him," Engoron deadpanned after the announcement.
It will mark Trump Jr.'s return to the witness box after the state put him on the standlast week.
