Live updates: Trump civil fraud trial continues in New York
Former President Donald Trump has publicly acknowledged that he will testify in his civil fraud trial.
During a break in proceedings, Trump stated, "Yes, I will.
At the appropriate time I will be" testifying.
Trump's lawyer has previously expressed eagerness for him to testify in his own defense.
He is expected to take the stand later in the trial, as he is on the witness list for both the state and his own legal team.
Donald Trump remains engaged in the trial proceedings, sitting at the defense table with his attorneys.
He has been reviewing documents and frequently conferring with his legal team.
Eric Trump, a co-defendant, is also actively involved, scanning exhibits and closely following the testimony.
Judge Arthur Engoron, overseeing the case, clarified that the trial is not the venue for Trump's attorneys to contest what he has already ruled on.
Engoron emphasized that appeals are the appropriate avenue for such challenges.
He also noted that the attorney general is suing Trump based on the financial statements that referenced the underlying transactions, which occurred after 2014.
As Trump arrived at the Manhattan courthouse for the second day of his trial, he continued to criticize New York Attorney General Letitia James and Judge Engoron.
Trump called James a "fraud" and claimed that the judge had been given "extremely misleading information" about his net worth.
He expressed hope that the judge would terminate his previous ruling of fraud.
On Truth Social, Trump posted a series of messages railing against the fraud case and James.
He criticized the rarely used Executive Law that the attorney general is proceeding under, calling it unfair.
Trump also accused James of allowing violent crime and dangerous illegal migrants in New York.
He argued that the case should be thrown out and dismissed.
Former President Donald Trump voluntarily attended the trial for the second day.
He departed Trump Tower and arrived at court, where he is expected to continue listening to the testimony.
Trump has expressed that the trial allows people to see the success of the company he built.
New York Attorney General Letitia James arrived at court for the second day of the trial.
As she walked up the courthouse stairs, she received supportive comments from onlookers.
James is leading the civil fraud case against Trump, his sons, their companies, and Trump Organization executives.
The civil fraud trial poses a significant threat to Donald Trump's fortune and brand.
It goes beyond his attempts to turn the trial into campaign material for his 2024 run.
The case directly challenges Trump's self-image as a successful billionaire tycoon and undermines his political appeal.
Trump's wealth and business acumen have been central to his persona, and any damage to that image could be devastating for him.
