Judge Arthur Engoron smiling for a camera ahead of the trial sparked backlash from conservatives on Monday.
Trump, who is running in the Republican presidential primary, appeared in New York court on Monday for his trial after New York Attorney General Letitia James' investigation into alleged business fraud committed by his businesses.
The former president may be ordered to pay damages but is not facing criminal charges in this trial, which is separate from his four criminal cases. Trump maintains his innocence and has "Video cameras allowed into the courtroom for a brief moment - Judge gives a smile - Reporters are ushered out," conservative news outlet:"Wow. This video from inside the courtroom speaks volumes. Watch NY AG Leticia James stare at Trump. She looks like an obsessive creep. Then watch the Judge smile for his moment in the sun. These people are deranged, Marxist tyrants."Newsweek
