Donald Trump rose to political power touting the business acumen he says made him a fortune.
On Monday, the 77-year-old once and potentially future president is expected to take the stand at a civil trial in which he stands accused of fraudulently inflating those famous assets to advance his real estate empire.
Engoron has responded by slapping Trump with two fines -- one for $5,000, another for $10,000 -- when he ruled the onetime reality television star had violated a partial gag order imposed after he bashed the judge's clerk on social media. So far, two of his children -- Donald Jr and Eric -- have testified, along with executives from the Trump Organization, a conglomerate that manages skyscrapers, luxury hotels and golf clubs around the world.
This trial is only the tip of the legal and logistical iceberg for the candidate, as he also stares down four criminal trials set to unfold during the 2024 campaign season. Trump has also brought attention to the case via his comments online, where he rails against Engoron and James, and repeats dubious claims that his Mar-a-Lago residence in Florida is in fact"probably the most valuable home anywhere in the United States" at"50 to 100 times greater" than the estimated value given by county officials.
