Former President Donald Trump testified in the trial of New York state’s lawsuit accusing him of inflating his net worth by as much as $3.6 billion to get better terms from banks and insurers.
Monday’s appearance was Trump’s first time publicly testifying at length in any of the many legal cases currently arrayed against him. Because the suit by New York Attorney General Letitia James is civil, Trump could not decline to testify, as would be his right in a criminal case.
