    Speeches and grandstanding: Trump scores few if any legal points in court
    Former president’s testimony was reminiscent of his rallies – and Judge Engoron was having none of it

    When Donald Trump took the witness stand Monday morning, he started what might turn out to be his most expensive rally ever.

    This was supposed to be his chance to give his side of the case in a $250m fraud trial that threatens to end his business career in New York state. On the stand, Trump mentioned crime in New York City and “election interference” as if he were in front of a crowd.

    “Many people are leaving New York... you have the attorney general sitting here all day long, it’s a shame what’s going on,” Trump said. “We have a hostile judge, and it’s sad.”

    • he's trying to goad the judge into a personal fight and get a mistrial/ have grounds for appeal, but the judge is wily, he'd having none of it._niko
    • Judge yelled at his lawyer that he was NOT here to hear Trumps side of the story. He was here to have him answer questions.monospaced
    • The fraud happened. Guilty already. It isn’t negotiable. This isn’t a trial with a jury. It’s a civil case to determine his punishment and that’s it.monospaced
    • Just hope he diesPhanLo
