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
