In a New York courtroom, former President Trump engaged in a contentious testimony over accusations of fraudulent asset inflation in a civil suit brought by the state's attorney general. The trial, with a backdrop of Trump's 2024 campaign, featured sharp exchanges over the valuation of properties like Mar-a-Lago and Trump Tower. Trump leaned on financial statement disclaimers as a defense and decried the proceedings as politically motivated, while the presiding judge sought to steer the focus back to the facts amid Trump's broad assertions of his company's undervaluation.
