Trump expected to attend New York fraud trial again Thursday as testimony nears an end

Former president Donald Trump is poised to return to his civil business fraud trial again, first to watch and then to serve as star witness for his own defense. With testimony winding down after more than two months, court officials and Trump's attorneys and aides have indicated that the Republican 2024 presidential front-runner is expected to show up voluntarily as a spectator Thursday, when his legal team is calling an accounting professor to testify about some financial topics important to the case.
