Donald Trump went on trial on Monday (October 2) for fraud, in a civil case against him and his family business that could deal a major blow to the former U.S. president’s real estate empire.
Trump, the frontrunner for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination, is accused by Democratic New York Attorney General Letitia James of inflating the value of his assets by billions of dollars to secure better loan and insurance terms.
“This is a continuation of the single greatest witch hunt of all time,” Trump said before entering the courtroom at a state court in downtown Manhattan.
“We have a great company. I built a great company. It’s tremendous,” he continued. “It’s got some of the greatest real estate assets in the world. And now I have to go in before a rogue judge.”
Trump, wearing a dark blue suit, a brighter blue tie and an American flag pin on his lapel, again called James, who is Black, “racist,” and said the Democrat had a vendetta against him.
The former president plans to attend the first week of trial, according to a court filing in an unrelated case. He is expected to testify later in the case, a spokesman said.
The trial comes a week after the judge presiding over the case found Trump liable for fraud, and will largely concern the penalties he must face.
James is seeking at least $250 million in fines, a permanent ban against Trump and his sons Donald Jr and Eric from running businesses in New York and a five-year restriction on commercial real estate activities by Trump and his flagship Trump Organization.

The witch hunt continues
The democrats haven't hated a president this much, since Lincoln freed their slaves.
He will be President again ✊🏽❤️
Witches are burnt at the stake..fact
How is this a crime ? No victim, no complainant, no fraud and a laughing judge who has taken it upon himself become a real estate expert. Complete joke. Even those suffering from TDS must be hugely embarrassed by this 🤦♂️
donald j Flatus is a Cowardly DRAFT DODGING, LYIING GRIFTING WOKE RINO, like all bullies blames every body but him self.
Lock him up always pleading hes the victim worst thing ever to happen in America
Democrats judge
Under a democracy you're innocent until proven guilty, under a tyranny you're just guilty.
So they destroyed his business,his family cannot take over, who knows how many people will now be out of a job all over some minute detail which isn't a crime, the banks made no complaints, he paid back every penny of the loans on time without ever missing a payment, no one lostt their job over the loans, no one went to prison, no crime was commited.
What exactly has he done wrong?
The central claim in case already settled
This is the beginning of Trump's descent into political oblivion. There is not the slightest doubt that this corrupt former president is going to spend some considerable time in prison. That is as certain as night follows day. He is unquestionably the worst president in American history, and the only one to incite an insurrection against a democratically elected government.
Biden laptop! Criminal president with a convict son
😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
Strength to this great man.
This is a nasty man 🤔
Russia Russia Russia He would like us to believe he was absolved of all wrongdoing. There was specious conduct but the burden of proof was insufficient. His second impeachment got a big assist from McConnell to delay the session until weeks late. Delay delay delay. More Fantasia, not a real place. Never Never Land. The tribe is all in. He is haters hater. He is point man on their behalf. All the bad that was Fascist Germany is on the brink of being talked up publicly. Short fuse to exposure of the anger, hatred, intimidation, and threats of violence. Acts of cowardice, not strength. Denial of replacement culture, do the numbers. Already a stark fact and reality. Taxes concentration of wealth assistance. Then tax his Tribe the disenfranchised to replace the void. Reality check. Tyrant wanna be Be careful what you wish for
sounds reasonable there is a planned system to get rid of him and keep corruption of Biden smelling bad
He entered the room with the same defeated slouch as in Helsinki after Putin had just made him his PAB.
Lock him up!!!
