The Donald Trump who testifies at a New York civil trial on Monday may be more subdued than the version often seen in campaign rallies.
“It’s going to be a stunning moment. This is dramatic enough if he was simply an ex-president facing these charges. But the fact that he is the overwhelming favorite to run the GOP, it makes this a staggering Monday,” said presidential historian Douglas Brinkley. He will also be coming face-to-face again Monday with Engoron, whom he has lambasted on his social media site in recent days as a"wacko” and “RADICAL LEFT, DEMOCRAT OPERATIVE JUDGE” who has already “ruled viciously” against him.
Among the topics likely to be covered: Trump’s role in his company's decision making, in its valuing of his properties, and in preparing his annual financial statements. Trump is likely to be asked about loans and other deals that were made using the statements and what intent, if any, he had in portraying his wealth to banks and insurers the way the documents did.
Eric Trump, the former president's middle son, who testified in the case last week, said his father was eager for his appearance on the stand.
