Time.news – The judge of the Manhattan court, Arthur Engoron, is called to decide on the charges concerning Donald Trump, his three adult children, Ivanka, Eric and Donald Jr., and the company, accused of fraud. Engoron will have to decide on these six points: falsification of financial documents, conspiracy to falsify financial documents, issuing false financial statements, conspiracy to “falsify false financial statements”, insurance fraud, conspiracy to commit insurance fraud. Trump and his organization are accused of inflating the value of their assets by up to $3.6 billion to obtain hundreds of millions of dollars in loans.

“We’re going to be here for months with a judge who has his own conviction. It’s ridiculous,” Trump said, leaving the Manhattan courtroom where the civil trial began for a lunch break. The tycoon accused Judge Engoron of being an “operative” of the Democratic Party and branded the case a “disgrace”.

“They are wasting their time with this story – he added – with the banks who were very happy to have had all their money back. They were defrauded, I was defrauded”.

“If I hadn’t led the polls and hadn’t run, I wouldn’t have had any of these cases. I wouldn’t be here to see you, because this is a horrible thing happening to our country” Trump said in his statement to journalists inside the court building in Manhattan.

“People – added Trump – are realizing. I’m telling you, voters are understanding because every time they accuse me of a false accusation I go up in the polls and this has never happened before”. “Businesses are fleeing New York because of this horrible attorney general and this judge, because people like us want to go to other places where they are treated fairly and with respect,” he continued.

“This is something that has never been seen before, we have a corrupt attorney general. This trial could have been conducted years ago but they waited now that we are in the middle of the electoral campaign,” he added. “My company’s data,” he continued, “are formidable.” It’s still: “This is the continuation of the stubborn witch hunt against me“.
