 Donald Trump made a voluntary appearance at his New York civil fraud trial and used it to complain that it is distracting from his campaign to reclaim the White House in 2024.The former U.S. president and front-runner for the Republican nomination also took the occasion to criticize a limited gag order imposed by a Washington judge in a separate criminal trial. Related to his attempts to overturn his 2020 election defeat, Trump appeared in a New York court on Oct. 17 for the third week of A. Civil fraud trial which has centered on allegations that he inflated his net worth to secure more favorable loan terms. It's a DC setup, a total disgrace, Trump told reporters outside the courtroom. All it is is election interference. It's all election interference and it all starts at the DOJ. It starts with Biden. Trump chose to be at the trial which he is not required to attend. He has repeatedly used his legal woes as a campaign fundraising tool. I think Jim Jordan will be a great speaker. I think he's going to have the vote soon, if not today, over the next day or two. And I think he'll end up being a great speaker. I think everything he does is political and unfortunately everything he does doesn't work out very well. Thank you very much. Mr. President, there's been a lot of you saying that you think you're about to take place. What do you think about the problem? It's a total disgrace. It's a very, very unfair and all of this is election interference. It's all election interference and it all starts at the DOJ. It starts with Biden. Thank you very much.
