When New York Attorney General Letitia James’s civil fraud proceedings against former president and 2024 candidate Donald J. Trump resume on Monday, Nov. 13, Trump’s lawyers, having lost their bid for an early verdict, will mount a spirited defense of their client and the legality of his business dealings.
President Trump himself believes, and asserted during an angry outburst in the courtroom on Nov. 6, that the attorney general has no case and has targeted him unfairly in an effort to quash his political prospects. He also claimed that bringing unfounded charges of fraudulent financial statements has set a terrible example and will drive entrepreneurs away from New York City.
