Justice Arthur Engoron last week fined Trump $US5000 after finding that he had not taken down a post disparaging the judge’s law clerk.
Engoron had earlier barred Trump, the frontrunner for the 2024 Republican nomination, from making comments attacking court staff.On Wednesday, during a break in the trial over a lawsuit brought by New York Attorney General Letitia James over Trump’s business practices, Trump told reporters, “this judge is a very partisan judge, with a person who’s very partisan sitting alongside of him, perhaps even much more partisan than he is”.
Also on Wednesday, Trump’s onetime lawyer and fixer Michael Cohen acknowledged under questioning by an attorney for the former president that he has a financial incentive to criticise his ex-boss but defended his credibility as he testified in the trial. Trump lawyer Alina Habba on Wednesday asked Cohen about how much money he made from his political podcast and two books he wrote since bitterly cutting ties with Trump and becoming one of his fiercest critics.LoadingTrump, the frontrunner for the Republican nomination to challenge Democratic President Joe Biden in the 2024 US election, has denied wrongdoing in the case and defended the valuations of his properties. Trump separately has pleaded not guilty in four criminal cases this year.
But Cohen’s admitted record of deceit could undermine his credibility before Justice Arthur Engoron, who alone will decide the outcome of the bench trial.
