 Donald Trump sat hunched over the defense table as testimony resumed on Oct. 3 at his civil fraud trial, with New York State's Attorney General aiming to prove that the former U.S. president inflated his wealth by lying about his real estate empire. The trial, now in its second day, could lead to the dismantling of Trump's business empire as he seeks to regain the presidency in 2024.Attorney General Letitia James has accused Trump, his two adult sons and others, of inflating asset values over. In a decade to secure favorable bank loans and insurance terms and exaggerating Trump's own riches by more than $2 billion.Before testimony resumed, Trump renewed his attacks on James, telling reporters outside the courtroom that she was grossly incompetent and had concocted a bogus case. Her numbers are fraudulent, said Trump, the frontrunner for the Republican nomination to face Democratic President Joe Biden in the 2024 election. She's a fraud. James entered the courthouse without speaking to reporters. The trial's second day began with the government's first witness Donald Bender, Trump's former accountant at Mazar's USA, resuming his testimony. James is trying to show that Trump and his company deceived even his own accountants. Financial statements are extremely strong. The assets are much more valuable, as opposed to less valuable than earned statements. The institutions that all were paid off, they were paid up, done. They made money. They had no fraud. It was absolutely no fraud. They all made money. They're all happy. 100% happy. And I think very importantly is everything. Many, many warnings. Page one, page two, and many pages. It says, please, you must understand that you have to do your own due diligence and you have to, above all, do your own research and analysis. Do not rely on anything. Do not rely on the financial statement. Also, the financial statements are very strong in terms of cash, liquidity, and everything else. This case is a scam. There can't be fraud when you've told institutions to do their own work. This case is a fraud and it's a scam. Thank you very much.
