Protests and press conferences: The ‘extraordinary’ scene as Trump testified

Protesters, hordes of reporters and curious pedestrians gathered on Monday around the Manhattan courthouse, where the fate of Trump’s real estate empire was to be decided. | Stefan Jeremiah/APNEW YORK — One protester held a sign showing former President Donald Trump in a prison jumpsuit behind bars. Another sign screamed “Invoke the 14th” amendment to bar Trump from running for president again.

Trump supporters ripped the case — which has become a rallying cry for him and his backers on overzealous prosecutors, particularly Democratic state Attorney General Tish James, who has become a regular target in his stump speeches. Even so, the Boss Tweed-era courthouse has never seen a situation quite like this — a former, and possibly future, president of the United States on the stand, loquaciously responding to prosecutors’ questions before an admonishing judge and a flurry of reporters.
