#Trump continued his attacks against #James hours before he returned to court for the 2nd day of arguments in the #civil#fraud#trial that the #NewYork AG brought against him & his company.
In 2 posts on his social platform this morning, Trump used derogatory terms to #attack James while denying any wrongdoing against allegations that he #inflated his #assets.
The AG's office is trying to show a #pattern of behavior through documents bolstering #Bender's claim, indicating he & the accounting company he worked for relied on docs that Trump & his company provided them.
The trial is scheduled to last until the end of Dec but is expected to end sooner.
Trump arrived in the courtroom & strode past AG #LetitiaJames, seated in the first row, w/o making eye contact & immediately took a seat at the defense table.
While pool photographers took his picture at the defense table, looking solemn, in camera-ready way, Judge #Engoron looked amused.
