Trump PAC Pays Fraud Trial Expert Witness; Trump Lashes Out at NYAG in Court

The political action committee supporting former President Donald Trump's 2024 campaign has paid a portion of the nearly $900,000 fee to an expert witness in Trump's New York civil fraud trial. The witness, NYU accounting professor Eli Bartov, denied any fraud by Trump and his co-defendants and stated that the compensation did not affect his testimony. This payment sheds light on the significant amount of money being spent on Trump's legal battles, which span civil and criminal courts across multiple states. The opposing party, lawyers for the New York Attorney General's office, may use the payment to undermine the expert's credibility in the $250 million fraud trial.
