Former President Donald Trump sparred with a New York judge early and often Monday as he testified in a civil trial that could threaten his real estate empire and offered a preview of the legal drama that awaits the GOP front-runner as he campaigns for a 2024 rematch with President Biden.
Former President Donald Trump waits to take the witness stand at New York Supreme Court, Monday, Nov. 6, 2023, in New York.
Mr. Trump’s cameo at the New York courthouse offered a sneak peek at how his courthouse campaign, as some are calling it, will unfold in the coming year as he faces an onslaught of criminal trials with potentially bigger consequences. “I would like things to move along a little faster. Please answer the questions, no speeches,” the judge said. “This is not a political rally. This is a courtroom.”
Mr. Trump’s sons, Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump, testified last week they relied on accountants and legal advisers to produce the financial statements at the heart of the case. “I think this is a political witch hunt and she should be ashamed of herself,” Mr. Trump said of Ms. James. “This is the opposite of fraud. The fraud is her.”
