Trump's tumultuous day in court: Judge clashes and contentious testimony

TL;DR Summary
Former U.S. President Donald Trump complained of unfair treatment and gave rambling testimony during his civil fraud trial in New York, prompting the judge to threaten to cut his testimony short. Trump avoided direct answers, instead bragging about his properties and accusing the judge and New York Attorney General Letitia James of targeting him. The judge has already found Trump and his companies liable for fraud, potentially stripping him of control over his properties. Trump acknowledged involvement in the fraudulent valuation of assets but blamed accountants for any errors. Trump's daughter Ivanka is due to testify on Wednesday.
