"Newly Released Deposition Video Reveals Trump's Annoyance and Defiance in Civil Fraud Lawsuit"

Newly released deposition video of Donald Trump shows his demeanor going from calm to indignant as he faces the New York attorney general's questioning in a civil fraud lawsuit, where he rips the lawsuit as a "disgrace" and "a terrible thing." Trump insists the banks allegedly deceived suffered no harm and accuses the attorney general of spending time investigating him instead of stopping violent crime. He invokes his Fifth Amendment privilege more than 400 times in a previous deposition and claims his financial statements were not meant to be taken seriously, with some numbers being "guesstimates." Trump boasts about the value of his brand and properties, using superlatives to describe them, and suggests he could get staggering amounts if he were to sell them.
