Former President Donald Trump took a prominent position in the civil fraud case against him in New York, arriving last minute in court to give remarks to the press, staring down cameras once inside the courtroom, and then delivering another speech to the press when the court took a break after opening arguments.
“This is a disgraceful situation,” he said during a break. “Murders are going on as you stand here. They’re wasting everybody’s time for many months with this case where banks got paid a fortune, loan money got paid back. Didn’t even need that [loan] money. We built a great company, and we have to go through this.”
