Trump's Personal Battle in NY: Fraud Trial, Defense, and Putting His Children in the Line of Fire

Former President Trump's civil trial in New York City, where he is facing allegations of fraud, has become increasingly personal for him. The case strikes at the heart of his reputation as a successful businessman and has pitted him against his longtime fixer, Michael Cohen. Trump's children have also testified in the trial. While the legal consequences in other cases may be more severe, the New York trial has hit Trump personally as it takes place in the city where he built his brand and has significant ramifications for his business. Trump has expressed frustration and has lashed out at the judges and prosecutors handling his cases.
