Trump Rages About “Racist” AG Outside Courtroom

CNN reports:

Former President Donald Trump spoke in the hallway flanked by his attorneys Chris Kise and Alina Habba before entering the courtroom. Trump railed against the case and New York Attorney General Letitia James, calling it an “unfair situation” and “really election interference.” “We will go along, and we will hopefully do very well in every regard, and we will win the election, we will make America great again,” he added.

The Guardian reports:

New York AG Letitia James spoke outside the court before the hearing. She said she expected Trump to “engage in name-calling and taunts and race-baiting, and call this a witch hunt”. James said the former president has “repeatedly and consistently misrepresented and inflated the value of his assets.” “But at the end of the day, the only thing that matters are the facts and the numbers – and numbers, my friends, don’t lie.”

“The people call Donald J. Trump,” state attorney Kevin Wallace said. With that, Donald Trump rose from his seat, made the short walk from the counsel table to the witness stand, and took a seat. He had a dour demeanor as he was sworn in.

To his immediate right sits Judge Arthur Engoron and his clerk Allison Greenfield, who Trump has repeatedly criticized as biased.

Directly across from him and in eyeshot is New York Attorney General Letitia James, who sits in the courtroom’s gallery with her eyes fixed on the former president. Trump, wearing a tailored navy blue suit, blue dress shirt, and blue tie, sits slightly slouched in the witness box.
