"Trump to Testify as Final Defense Witness in New York Fraud Trial, Confirms Lawyer"

Former President Donald Trump will be the final defense witness in the $250 million civil fraud trial brought by New York Attorney General Letitia James, with his son Eric Trump scheduled to testify earlier. Trump and his co-defendants are accused of inflating Trump's assets for financial gain. The trial has been marred by threats and harassment towards the judge and his law clerk, leading to gag orders and fines imposed on Trump. The trial will determine penalties and resolve multiple claims of wrongdoing, with James seeking $250 million in damages and a permanent ban on Trump and his sons from running a New York business.
