Trump's Fraud Lawsuit: Judge Slams Expert Witness and Rejects Defense

Former President Donald Trump's request to dismiss a business fraud lawsuit brought by New York Attorney General Letitia James has been denied by Judge Arthur Engoron. The judge criticized one of Trump's expert witnesses, an accounting professor, for lacking credibility and dismissed the assumption that the testimony provided by the witness would be accepted as true and accurate. The trial revolves around allegations that Trump and other company officials inflated his wealth and asset values to secure loans and business deals. Closing arguments are scheduled for January 11th.
