Acting on the second day of testimony in the trial, the judge forbade both sides from speaking about his staff, and threatened “serious sanctions” if anyone did.
James has accused Trump, his two adult sons, the Trump Organisation and others of inflating asset values over a decade to secure favourable bank loans and insurance terms, and exaggerating Trump’s own riches by more than $US2 billion. The trial could lead to the dismantling of Trump’s business empire as he seeks to regain the presidency in 2024.
“How disgraceful!” added Trump, the frontrunner for the Republican nomination to face Democratic President Joe Biden in the 2024 election. “This case should be dismissed immediately!!”The order came as the government’s first witness, Trump’s former accountant Donald Bender, tested for a second day as the attorney general’s office tries to show that Trump and his family business deceived even the people reviewing his financials.
