Donald Trump attacks judge during combative testimony in civil fraud trial

Al Jazeera  

The former US president remains the frontrunner for the Republican presidential nomination despite numerous legal woes. Donald Trump has taken the witness stand in a civil fraud trial in New York, attacking the judge and calling the proceedings a “political witch-hunt”. “He called me a fraud, and he did not know anything about me,” Trump said of the judge sitting near him during his testimony on Monday. Trump called James a “political hack” on Monday and has consistently attacked her during speeches and in social media posts. “And numbers, my friends, don’t lie.” Engoron has previously fined Trump $15,000 for violating the gag order that allowed him to criticise the trial but barred him from making comments about court staff.
