The former president treated his court appearance as a campaign stop, despite facing a possible fine of $250m for boosting the value of his assets
The trial of Donald Trump and his real estate business kicked off this week in Manhattan as the former president faces a potential fine of at least $250m for financial fraud.
In his pre-trial ruling, the New York judge Arthur Engoron found Trump guilty of fraud for creating false and misleading financial statements. Trump boosted the value of his assets by as much as $2.2bn, according to an investigation by the New York attorney general, Letitia James, who brought the case against Trump.
