The trial against the former president donald trump for corporate fraud reaches its climax this Monday, when he is scheduled to appear under oath as a key witness called by the New York Prosecutor’s Office.
Trump, who has appeared in court for several days and maintains that no illegalities were committed in his company, has attacked the process as a politically motivated “witch hunt,” and has been reprimanded and fined by the judge for his inflammatory statements. .
The Prosecutor’s Office already claimed a premature victory when Judge Arthur Engoron summarily ruled in their favor before trial, finding the defendants liable on the main charge, of continued fraud, and suspending their operating licenses in the state, an issue in pause while in resource.
Today’s appearance in the process, which is civil in nature and can only result in financial penalties, will offer a preview of the strategy and behavior of the Republican favorite before the four criminal cases he faces in the coming months.
Yesterday, a survey in the New York Times indicated that, despite all the cases opened against him, Trump is presented as a favorite in several states in a possible duel with President Joe Biden, and that while he will be 77 years old compared to 81 of Biden at the time of the election, only Biden is seen as too old to face a new mandate.
Trump’s eldest sons, Donald Jr. and Eric, testified last week that they were not directly involved in the company’s accounts, refuting prosecutors’ arguments that the defendants were responsible for inflating assets to obtain advantages with banks and insurers.
