Former President Donald Trump unloaded on the New York judge overseeing his civil trial Wednesday, accusing him of being a “political hack” for the Democratic Party as Attorney General Letitia James called the ex-president’s oldest child to the witness stand.
Mr. Trump complained about Judge Arthur Engoron before his son Donald Trump Jr. testified in the civil case, which accuses the Trump family of manipulating financial statements to get better terms on loans and insurance.
“Engoron is crazy, totally unhinged, and dangerous,” the former president wrote on Truth Social, his social media platform. “Leave my children alone, Engoron. You are a disgrace to the legal profession!”
Donald Trump Jr. testified Wednesday he knew little about Generally Accepted Accounting Principles and focused on being a real estate broker within the Trump Organization.
When asked whether he belonged to an accountants’ organization, he replied, “Sounds very exciting, but no.”
While lighthearted at times, the Trump Organization executive vice president took serious care to establish that he’s not an expert on the accounting standards that have been mentioned in the case.
