Former President Trump traded jabs at New York Judge Arthur Engoron as he testified on the stand Monday morning during the non-jury civil trial stemming from New York Attorney General Letitia James’ lawsuit against him and his businesses in the state.
Kevin Wallace, a lawyer in the New York Attorney General’s Office, began questioning the former president during his unprecedented time on the stand—specifically about his statements of financial condition. Trump said the statements were 'not really documents the banks paid much attention to,' and Wallace asked how he knew that. The former president said he has been dealing with banks for '50 years and they look at the deals.
When asked for an example, the former president said Mar-A-Lago was underestimated 'but I didn’t do anything about it.' 'Values are far bigger than what’s on the statements…I thought 40 Wall St…Doral was underestimated, considerably more valuable,' he said of his properties. In a shot at Engoron, Trump said the judge said Mar-a-Lago is worth '$18 million, but it is worth 50 to 100 times more than that.' 'But the judge ruled against me,' Trump said.
