Judge Arthur Engoron set the record straight about a comment the ex-president had claimed as an important victory.
A judge has indicated he is not embracing Donald Trump’s view that most claims in his civil business fraud trial are too old for court, as the defence had hoped for after the trial’s first day.
Judge Engoron said on Tuesday that “statutes of limitations bar claims, not evidence” and that in the trial’s early stage, he is inclined to give both sides leeway to connect older evidence to claims in the lawsuit. Trump denies any wrongdoing. The former president and current 2024 Republican front-runner claims that Ms James, a Democrat, is wielding the justice system as a political weapon to hobble his ongoing campaign.
Ms James is seeking 250 million dollars and a ban on Trump doing business in New York. The judge has already ruled that some of Trump’s companies should be dissolved as punishment.
