Donald Trump has spent a day in court for the sometimes testy start of a trial in a fraud lawsuit that could cost him control of Trump Tower and other prized properties. Outside court Monday, he called it a “disgraceful trial.” Democratic New York Attorney General Letitia James’ lawsuit accuses the Republican ex-president and his company of deceiving banks, insurers and others by habitually lying about his wealth in financial statements. The judge already has ruled Trump committed fraud in his business dealings. If the ruling is upheld on appeal, it could force Trump to give up several New York properties. Trump left for the day sounding buoyed, after the judge suggested testimony about Trump’s 2011 financial statement was beyond the legal time limit.

A stone-faced Donald Trump has been confronted with a 34-count felony indictment accusing him in a scheme to bury allegations of extramarital affairs that arose during his first White House campaign. The arraignment Tuesday in a Manhattan courtroom was a stunning — and humbling — spectacle for the former president. It put him face-to-face with prosecutors who bluntly accused him of criminal conduct and set the stage for a possible criminal trial in the city where he became a celebrity decades ago. Trump pleaded not guilty. Speaking later at his Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida, Trump bitterly attacked the prosecutor and the judge despite being admonished hours earlier about incendiary rhetoric.
