The surprise move would bring Trump face-to-face with a Manhattan judge he has repeatedly derided.
Former President Donald Trump plans to show up in person for at least the first week of a civil trial set to open in New York on Monday in which he and his business empire are accused of persistent fraud, according to court filings.
“I have a Deranged, Trump Hating Judge, who RAILROADED this FAKE CASE through a NYS Court at a speed never before seen,” Trump wrote in recent days on his social media platform.concluding that Trump routinely inflated the value of his assets and granting James much of what she has sought in the case, but the bench trial is still expected to proceed on Monday on issues not resolved by the decision this week.
During a hearing on the suit Friday, Cohen’s lawyer, Dayna Perry, said Trump had been scheduled to undergo a deposition in the case on Tuesday in Florida, but Trump’s attorneys asked on Thursday to delay the deposition so that he could go to the New York trial. In a court filing this week, the New York attorney general’s office listed Trump on its witness list for the business fraud case, but that does not mean he will definitely be called to testify. Alina Habba, an attorney for the former president, said he would testify if called as a witness.
