Trump's Fiery Courtroom Clash: Defending Against NYAG Case and Praising Appellate Ruling
Former President Donald Trump appeared in court to criticize the New York civil trial against him and his business, calling it a "weaponization of justice" and "election interference." Trump reacted to testimony from a defense expert witness who found no evidence of accounting fraud in Trump's financial statements. Meanwhile, a New York State Appeals Court affirmed a ruling that paused the dissolution of the Trump Organization until after the trial. Trump hailed the ruling as a victory for business and claimed that businesses would not move back to or stay in New York. The trial, brought by New York Attorney General Letitia James, accuses Trump of inflating his financial statements and deceiving banks. Trump and his family have denied any wrongdoing.
