The trial is the culmination of an investigation that has lasted for years.
Donald Trump has said he will make a rare, voluntary trip to court in New York as control over some of his most prized assets hangs in the balance.
“This whole case is a sham!!!” Mr Trump wrote in all capital letters. “See you in Court – Monday morning.”The trial is the culmination of an investigation by Ms James, who accused Mr Trump and his company of habitually lying about his wealth in financial statements. Mr Trump did not come to court as either a witness or a spectator when his company and one of its top executives was convicted of tax fraud last year. He did not show, either, for a trial earlier this year in which a jury found him liable for sexually assaulting the writer E Jean Carroll in a department store dressing room.Ms James, a Democrat, is seeking 250 million US dollars in penalties and a ban on doing business in New York.
Mr Engoron will decide on six remaining claims in Ms James’ lawsuit, including allegations of conspiracy, falsifying business records and insurance fraud. He and his lawyers have also argued that no-one was harmed by anything in the financial statements. Banks he borrowed money from were fully repaid. Business partners made money. And Mr Trump’s own company flourished.
