Lawyers in Donald Trump's business fraud trial in New York will move on Tuesday to the more plodding task of going through years of his financial documents in what's expected to be a weekslong fight over whether they constitute proof of fraud. FOX 5 NY's Robert Moses has the details.Former President Donald Trump 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. "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.
