Trump to Take the Witness Stand

“On Monday, Donald Trump will leave the campaign trail for a place where he’ll still be the center of attention: a witness box,” Politico reports.

“The former president is set to testify in the ongoing $250 million civil fraud trial concerning a lawsuit in which Trump stands accused of orchestrating sweeping corporate fraud by inflating his net worth. New York Attorney General Tish James, who brought the case, alleges that Trump, his adult sons and their business associates used falsified documents about his net worth in order to obtain favorable terms from banks and insurers.”
