"Trump's Paid Expert Witnesses Shredded by Judge Engoron in Fraud Trial"

Judge Arthur Engoron has criticized the credibility of accounting experts Eli Bartov and Jason Flemmons, who testified on behalf of Donald Trump in his case against the New York state attorney general. Engoron highlighted the potential bias due to their significant financial compensation and stated that assuming their testimonies were accurate would be a "glaring flaw." The judge also refuted arguments regarding the subjective nature of valuations and the protection provided by disclaimers on Trump's financial statements. Engoron previously ruled that Trump and his adult sons are liable for persistent fraud and ordered the dissolution of Trump's business certificates. Both parties have until Jan. 5 to file briefs, with oral arguments set for Jan. 11.

Ivanka Trump Ordered to Testify in Father's Civil Fraud Trial

Ivanka Trump will likely have to testify in an ongoing civil fraud trial, as a state judge ruled that she must respond to a subpoena despite being dismissed from the case earlier this year. The judge stated that Ivanka still has ties to Trump businesses subject to the case and has availed herself of the privilege of doing business in New York. This ruling sets up a week of Trump family testimony, with Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump scheduled to testify before Ivanka. The trial aims to determine damages for Trump and his family, with the former president already found liable for inflating asset values to secure favorable bank loans. Ivanka's attorneys may appeal the ruling.
