TL;DR Summary

Former President Donald Trump testified in a New York fraud trial, defending the valuations of various Trump Organization properties and accusing the judge and New York Attorney General Letitia James of political bias. Trump repeatedly strayed from the questions, earning reprimands from the judge overseeing the trial. The case stems from a $250 million civil lawsuit filed by James' office, alleging a yearslong fraud scheme in which the defendants inflated the company's assets and Trump's personal wealth. The attorney general is seeking to recoup $250 million and limit the Trumps' ability to do business in New York. Trump's testimony will be considered by the judge in deciding the outcome of the trial.
