Because Judge Arthur Engoron has already ruled that Trump and his company fraudulently inflated asset values, the trial is largely about what penalty they should face.
Trump has denied wrongdoing and has accused James and Engoron of political bias in extensive comments online and in person.
The New York fraud trial has so far seen dramatic appearances by Trump's former lawyer and fixer Michael Cohen, who testified that Trump directed him to inflate asset values to make him appear more wealthy.
