Letitia James condemns ‘the Donald Trump show’ as former president leaves fraud trial
Former Trump Organization CFO Allen Weisselberg is expected to testify today in the New York civil fraud trial against Donald Trump.
The former president’s longtime finance chief was jailed for around three months earlier this year for tax evasion at the organisation.
He is now named alongside Mr Trump, his adult sons and other executives in the $250m civil case which could result wipe out the former president’s business empire in the New York.
The former president is not expected to return to court to see Weisselberg testify in the case, coming hours after he appeared at a rally in New Hampshire where he called the attacks on Israel “incredible” and claimed it never would have happened under his watch.
“What happened yesterday was incredible,” he said on Monday.
“Vicious. Young children just slaughtered... When I was your president, we had peace through strength, and now we have weakness, conflict and chaos. The atrocities we’re witnessing in Israel would never have happened if I was president.”
Meanwhile, Mr Trump was roundly denounced by his niece Mary Trump for allegedly leaking Israeli national security secrets to Vladimir Putin while he was president.
