TL;DR Summary

Former President Donald Trump attended his civil fraud trial in New York City, where he dismissed the case as a politically targeted distraction from his 2024 campaign. Trump sat in on testimony from one of his company's accountants, Donna Kidder, after Michael Cohen's planned appearance was postponed. The lawsuit, brought by New York Attorney General Letitia James, alleges that Trump and his company deceived banks and others by overvaluing assets and inflating net worth. Trump denies any wrongdoing and claims his assets were undervalued. The trial concerns allegations of conspiracy, insurance fraud, and falsifying business records.
