Tuesday’s court action is expected to focus on the more plodding task of going through years of Trump’s financial documents

Former U.S. president Donald Trump attends the trial of himself, his adult sons, the Trump Organization and others in a civil fraud case brought by state Attorney General Letitia James, at a Manhattan courthouse, in New York City on Oct. 3.returned to a New York court Tuesday after a fiery start to his business fraud lawsuit trial, venting anew about a case he deems bogus.

Trump spent a full day Monday as an angry spectator at the civil trial, using the waiting cameras in a courthouse hallway as a microphone for political messaging and his insistence that he’s done nothing wrong. His tone was more subdued as he arrived Tuesday, but his message was no less emphatic.

The non-jury trial concerns six remaining claims in the lawsuit and how much Trump might owe in penalties. James is seeking $250 million and a ban on Trump doing business in New York. The judge has already ruled that some of Trump’s limited liability companies should be dissolved as punishment., Kevin Wallace, a lawyer for the attorney-general, told the judge that Trump and his company had lied “year after year after year” in his financial statements to make him look richer than he really was.

“This is a judge that should be disbarred. This is a judge that should be out of office. This is a judge that some people say could be charged criminally for what he’s doing. He’s interfering with an election, and it’s a disgrace,” Trump said.
