Former President Donald Trump appealed a New York court ruling that found he committed fraud and removed his New York business certificates shortly after departing the trial on Wednesday.
The former president, who is seeking another bid for president in the 2024 race, has voluntarily taken time from the campaign trail to attend the trial that began on Monday. James's lawsuit seeks $250 million and claims his family business, the Trump Organization, deceived banks, insurers, and others by overestimating his net worth.
Bender at one point acknowledged that he did not notice a change in information about the size of the Trump Tower apartment, a comment defense lawyer Jesus Suarez seized upon, alleging Trump's company was now"going through hell" because"you missed it." Engoron on Tuesday responded to Trump's online criticism of the case with a narrow gag order against him after the former president targeted a principal law clerk on social media. The order informed all participants in the trial to not levy personal attacks on court staffers and told Trump to delete the"disparaging, untrue and personally identifying post."
Despite no requirement for Trump to attend the civil trial, he appeared to lament taking time away from the campaign trail in his final comments before leaving the courthouse on Wednesday.
