Trump’s Testimony , Spawns Courtroom Shouting Match.
On Nov. 6, Donald Trump took the witness
stand to testify in a civil fraud trial against him. .
The former president is accused
of lying about his net worth in order
to secure financing for his businesses. .
As he entered the courtroom, Trump told reporters, "These are political operatives that
I am going to be dealing with right now.".
It is a political warfare, as you would call it, or political lawfare, and I have a lot of names for it, but it is usually something that takes place in third-world countries and banana republics, Donald Trump, via Politico.
Trump has often referred to Justice Arthur Engoron, whom will decide the trial's outcome in place of a jury, as "tyrannical and unhinged," Politico reports. .
Justice Engoron reportedly grew frustrated by Trump's inability to provide "yes" or "no" responses. .
I beseech you to control him if you can.
If you can’t, I will. I will excuse him and
draw every negative inference that I can, Justice Arthur Engoron, via Politico.
This is not a political rally.
This is a courtroom, Justice Arthur Engoron, via Politico.
One of Trump's attorneys,
Alina Habba, later told Justice Engoron,
"You are here to hear what he has to say.".
Engoron responded by yelling,
"No, I am not here to hear what he has to say!".
Trump chimed in, yelling, "This is a very unfair trial — very, very — and I hope the public is watching.".
Prior to the trial, Trump used his time
on the witness stand as fuel for
campaign fundraising, Politico reports.
I am being forced to take the witness stand
tomorrow in a SHAM trial in New York City
where an extremely anti-Trump Attorney
General is trying to impose the ‘corporate
death penalty’ upon me and even my family, Donald Trump, via campaign email
