Former US President Trump has rejected all allegations in a fraud lawsuit.
Trump denied under oath in a New York court that he had manipulated the value of his properties and businesses. In addition, there is no damage because the banks have received the loans back.
The public prosecutor’s office, however, is convinced that Trump exaggerated his company’s assets in order to get cheaper loans and insurance.
The presiding judge also sees this as proven. He now has to decide what punishment there should be for this.
“I don’t want to hear everything” – Trump and judge clash
Judge Arthur Engoron repeatedly instructed Trump on Monday to refrain from lengthy “speeches” in his courtroom: “This is not a political rally, this is a courtroom.” Trump should answer the prosecutor’s questions directly. “I don’t want to hear everything this witness has to say,” said the judge.
But Trump was hardly impressed by Engoron’s growing anger and attacked the judge, the American judiciary, the Democratic Party and New York Attorney General Letitia James, who was also present. She is a Democrat party soldier who should be ashamed: “She is the fraudster.”
James is just trying to interfere in the election campaign. Trump wants to be re-elected US President for the Republicans next year.
