"Trump's Meandering NY Testimony Raises Concerns and Defends Presidency"

Former President Donald Trump gave long-winded answers during his deposition in New York Attorney General Letitia James' financial-fraud lawsuit, going off on tangents about his golf courses and the beauty of marble bathrooms. The transcript of the seven-hour grilling, released by the attorney general's office, reveals Trump's lengthy responses, prompting one of James' lawyers to express concern about the deposition lasting until midnight. The lawsuit alleges that Trump and his associates inflated his net worth to secure lower-cost loans, saving him millions of dollars in interest. The deposition is a prelude to Trump's upcoming civil fraud trial.
