Legal experts told Fox News Digital how they think former President Trump's Monday testimony affected his ongoing court case in New York.
A pair of legal experts weighed in on how former President Trump's court testimony may have affected his case in New York. Trump testified in his non-jury civil trial on Monday stemming from New York Attorney General Leticia James' lawsuit against him and his Empire State businesses. The former president exchanged fire with Judge Arthur Engoron while being questioned by Kevin Wallace, a lawyer from the New York Attorney General's Office.
George Washington University law professor Jonathan Turley told Fox News Digital that watching 'Trump being called for testimony is like waiting for the green flag at NASCAR' in that many 'are coming for the car crashes.' 'There was an obvious disconnect in the testimony,' Turley said. 'Trump seemed to be speaking to the public, but neither a jury nor a television camera was present.
After a break in his testimony, Trump again took the stand, defending himself and his businesses and blasting the investigation. 'We shouldn’t be having a case here because we have a disclaimer clause that every court holds up except this judge,' Trump said, referring to the disclaimers on all of his financial statements and statements of financial condition. 'They're trying to hurt me – especially her,' Trump said, referring to James, 'for political reasons.
