Donald Trump will personally take the stand in Manhattan next year to defend his real-estate and golf-resort empire from New York's $250 million fraud lawsuit, which seeks to bar his family from doing business in the state.

Donald Trump may testify in person in 2023 to defend his company against New York's $250 million lawsuit.

The trial could determine whether Trump and his three eldest children, Donald Trump, Jr., Ivanka Trump, and Eric Trump, can ever run a corporation in the state again; it is scheduled for October 2, 2023. The judge reserved decision on bench versus jury trial, though he seemed amenable to what Clifford Robert, a defense lawyer for Donald Trump, Jr., and Eric Trump, called a"bifurcated" trial.Outside court, Habba told Insider that it's not unusual for Trump to want to testify in his own defense; it's just that so many of the cases he has been involved in have settled prior to trial, she said.

The defense is seeking to have the attorney general's lawsuit dismissed, but is using the same arguments that were unsuccessful in his own courtroom and later on appeal, Engoron told defense lawyers. "I don't know why I, my staff, not to mention the attorney general's staff need to go through this all against. It's like jumping through the same hoops."
