CBS News reports:
Former President Donald Trump is attending his civil fraud trial in New York on Tuesday, returning to a Manhattan courtroom for the fourth time since the trial began two weeks ago.
Trump, two of his sons and their company were already found liable for fraud in September in the civil suit brought by New York Attorney General Letitia James. The trial is proceeding on several other charges, including falsification of business records and conspiracy.
The former president last attended the trial on Oct. 4, and he and his co-defendants have denied any wrongdoing in the case. His absence from the proceedings was noted Monday by New York Judge Arthur Engoron, who quipped about the two sides “arguing in front of an empty chair.”
