Donald Trump is expected to attend the opening of a civil case in New York today in which he and his corporate empire have been accused of widespread fraud over several years.
The trial pits the former president, 77, against Judge Arthur Engoron, a Democrat appointed to his position in Manhattan in 2015. Last week in a summary judgment, Engoron found that Trump was liable for widespread fraud.
Trump had not been expected to attend in person but filings in a separate case indicated he will appear at the Manhattan court to hear Letitia James, the New York attorney-general, set out her case for $250 million in fines for the Trump Organisation and a ban on the frontrunner for next year’s Republican presidential nomination running
