Trump is in court this morning for his civil fraud trial, brought by New York Attorney General Letitia James against Trump, his eldest sons, their companies, and several executives.
He is accused of overvaluing his properties on financial statements for over a decade.
The New York attorney general is seeking $250 million in damages, a ban on the Trumps from serving as officers of a business in New York, and a ban on the company from engaging in business transactions for five years.
Naturally, Trump went on the attack, dismissing the New York Fraud Suit As a ‘Witch Hunt.’
“What we have here is an attempt to hurt me in an election,” he charged, adding: “I don’t think the people of this country are going to stand for it.”
