Legal expert warns judge "increasingly frustrated" with Trump as he rages on Truth Social at 1 am [View all]
Former President Donald Trump raged on Truth Social ahead of his trial Monday in New York Attorney General Letitia James' fraud lawsuit.
Trump and James are both expected to be in court in Manhattan on Monday, where the former president will face allegations that he, his adult sons and their family business inflated his wealth by billions to secure favorable terms from banks. Trump, who has denied the allegations, is eventually expected to be called to testify, according to The New York Times.
New York Judge Arthur Engoron last week ruled that Trump had persistently committed fraud, finding that no trial was necessary to determine whether the allegation is true. The ruling is set to strip the Trumps of control over their New York properties, which "could crush much of the business known as the Trump Organization," the Times added.
"The trial is a bench trial—the case will be decided by the judge, not a jury," former federal prosecutor Joyce Vance explained. "Judge Engoron is a distinguished jurist who has spent 2 decades on the bench & whose increasing frustration with Trump's efforts to delay the proceedings was apparent last week."
