Throughout the first two days of this trial, Trump has lobbed insults on social media and in front of cameras at the judge and Attorney General Letitia James, who is suing Trump for allegedly inflating the value of his assets in order to land deals. Speaking to reporters outside the courtroom on Monday and Tuesday, Trump accused the pair of being corrupt and politically motivated. He has also called James"racist."
On Tuesday Trump also told reporters he will testify in this proceeding – one of four he faces in New York –"at the appropriate time." Trump is on both the attorney general's and the defense witness lists, though it could be several weeks before he is called to take the stand.
