James has accused Trump; his eldest sons, Don Jr. and Eric; the Trump Organization and others of fraudulently inflating the values of Trump's assets for financial gain. She is seekingJames, the New York attorney general, seized on the opportunity to take a jab at Trump, seeming to mock the former president's claim that she"doesn't know what a 40 Wall Street is," referring to one of his Manhattan properties.
Another possible reason for the rants:"It may just be that Mr. Trump is incoherent, that his answers make quite literally no sense."“I think she is a political hack; she used this case to try to become governor…. this is a disgrace. All you have to do is read the legal papers and the scholars. This is a political witch hunt, and I think you should be ashamed of herself.”
Trump deflects, insisting that it’s been a long time since he looked at them. He says that he is worth billions more than the AG thought. Any overvaluations would be non-material, Trump maintains, before also acknowledging he hasn’t looked.“If there was a mistake, it was non-material; but even if it was material, we have a disclaimer clause,” Trump argues.
When asked as of today whether he has yet to build homes at Aberdeen, Trump doesn't say yes; instead, he says “there’s nothing wrong” with holding on to that piece of property.Tump insists nothing has to be done to convert Mar-a-Lago to a single-family home. He also recalls that the “very large and beautiful” ballroom at Mar-a-Lago was built by him, notwithstanding the deed. “This property is more valuable with that building on it!” he testifies.
Trump just testified, “I was a limited partner; I did not put up any money; I had no liability for what I owned.” He can’t help himself and is boasting about the structure of the deal in ways that are belied by the statement itself. MSNBC legal contributor Chuck Rosenberg just reminded viewers:"While it may be a theater for Trump ... for the judge and the representatives for the attorney general’s office, it remains a courtroom."This isn’t exactly the first time that Trump is testifying in front of Judge Arthur Engoron. That’s because the former president previously tried to talk his way out of the second gag order violation, claiming that he wasn’t talking about Engoron’s law clerk.
