Former President Donald Trump testified under oath on Monday in New York in his civil fraud trial. The trial covers a $250 million lawsuit against Trump by the New York Attorney General, Letitia James’ office. It alleges that Trump repeatedly committed fraud by inflating his financial statements to receive better real estate loans and insurance policies and potentially cost lenders millions.
“You have a racist attorney general who made some terrible statements,” Trump told reporters following his appearance in court. “It’s a very sad situation for our country, we shouldn’t have this, this is for third-world countries and very unfair. It’s very unfair.” James seeks a permanent ban against Trump from conducting business in New York.
