In a statement released on Donald Trump’s Truth Social platform at 06:11 PM EST on January 13, 2024, the former president addressed his ongoing legal situation, particularly the Judge Engoron Trial. Trump highlighted the credibility of his chosen expert witness, emphasizing their reputation as one of the most responsible and respected experts in the country. Notably, this expert had previously been enlisted by the New York State Attorney General, Letitia James, whom Trump referred to as the “Crazed Lunatic.”
According to Trump, his expert witness conducted extensive research spanning many months, delving into not only his financial statements but also various other aspects. The outcome of this comprehensive examination, as Trump put it, was the unequivocal finding of “NO EVIDENCE OF ACCOUNTING FRAUD, ZERO.” Trump conveyed the expert’s opinion that only a select few individuals could endure such a rigorous test and emerge with a result as clean as his own. Moreover, he cited another expert who purportedly lauded him as one of the most honest individuals after undergoing scrutiny involving the review of millions of pages.
Despite these affirmations, Trump expressed dissatisfaction with the judge overseeing the trial, accusing Judge Engoron of sarcastically ridiculing his expert witnesses, even on a personal level. However, Trump contended that the judge failed to present any substantive counterarguments, alleging an inability to utilize facts, statistics, or analysis. The crux of Trump’s defense rested on the strength of his financial statements, which he claimed were unparalleled in the realm of real estate and possibly superior to anyone else’s in the country.
