Trump erupts in chaotic day of testimony, in a rare glimpse of ex-president under oath

LA Times  

Former President Trump waits to take the witness stand at the New York Supreme Court on Nov. 6, 2023. The former president gave long, rambling answers, calling prosecutors who have charged him with crimes “Democrats” and “Trump haters.” He characterized the current trial as “crazy” and said, “I’m sure the judge will rule against me, because he always rules against me.” During questioning by Kevin Wallace, senior enforcement counsel for the New York attorney general’s office, Trump conceded on the stand a central tenet of the case: that the financial statements he is accused of inflating were used to induce banks to lend him money, and that he would sometimes provide input on the Trump Organization’s financial statements based on what he thought the values should be. Earlier in the proceedings, Engoron asked Trump to limit his answers to what was asked and referred to Trump’s answers at one point as an “essay.” Engoron interjected repeatedly before turning to Trump’s attorney Christopher Kise. “He called me a fraud and he didn’t know anything about me,” Trump said of Engoron. You know nothing about me, you believe that political hack back there,” Trump said to Engoron, referring to James, “and that’s unfortunate.” Though Trump faces multiple criminal trials in the coming months, the public is expected to have few chances to see the former president testify.
