Former President Donald Trump recently took to his Truth Social account and posted the following:
“Wow! Just found out that Corrupt and Racist Attorney General Letitia James of New York State is financially backed by George Soros. No wonder this “TRUMP CASE,” being presided over by a highly partisan and out of control Judge who found me guilty before the trial even started, wouldn’t allow a JURY, and said Mar-a-Lago, in Palm Beach, Florida, was worth only $18,000,000, when it is worth 50 to 100 times that amount, has become an embarrassment to the New York Judiciary. No new businesses want any part of this charade. WITCH HUNT!”

Former US President Donald Trump is expected to take the stand on Monday to testify in the civil fraud trial, a case that could well decide the fate of his business empire in New York, CNN reported.
It has been noted that the trial brought by New York Attorney General Letitia James, is seeking USD 250 million in damages and barring the former president from doing business in the state.
James alleges that Trump and his co-defendants committed repeated fraud in inflating assets on financial statements to get better terms on commercial real estate loans and insurance policies, as per CNN.
While there are no criminal charges involved, the allegations have enraged the former president, who has attended the trial for multiple days and called it a “political witch hunt”. Before the trial began last month, Judge Arthur Engoron already ruled that Trump and his co-defendants, including his adult sons, were liable for “persistent and repeated” fraud.
