NEW YORK (AP) — After a fiery first day of opening arguments, lawyers in Donald Trump's business fraud trial in New York will move on Tuesday to the more plodding task of going through years of his financial documents in what's expected to be a weekslong fight over whether they constitute proof of fraud.
An accountant who prepared Trump’s financial statements for years was expected to be back on the witness stand for a second day.
Trump, who spent a full day Monday as an angry spectator at the civil trial, was contemplating a return to court as well.
The non-jury trial concerns six remaining claims in the lawsuit, and how much Trump might owe in penalties.
James is seeking $250 million and a ban on Trump doing business in New York.
