Trump, who spent a full day Monday as an angry spectator at the civil trial, was contemplating a return to court as well. Judge Arthur Engoron already delivered an early victory to James, ruling that Trump committed fraud by exaggerating the size of his penthouse at Trump Tower, claiming his Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida was worth as much as $739 million, and putting similar oversized valuations on office towers, golf courses and other assets.
Trump's lawyers said the statements were legitimate representations of the worth of unique luxury properties, made even more valuable because of their association with Trump. "That is not fraud. That is real estate," attorney Alina Habba said.
