“It is an extremely hostile judge,” Trump added, raising his hand to point at Engoron, who sat beside and just above the witness box on the bench. President.” Trump has long posed as the alpha male and his entire business and political creed — in person and on social media – is based on intimidation. But the trial quickly became a test of wills between Trump and Engoron over who controlled the court. But by the end of the day, Engoron’s resolve frayed: “It feels like a broken record,” he said of Trump’s answers. This desire to make a reality just what he wants it to be has long defined Trump’s political approach.

☆ Consumers are still spending, but they're under pressure. These stocks still have room to run

Persistent inflationary pressures have led to depressed levels of consumer spending all year, according to Bank of America. Consumers are still spending — in fact, they're spending more than they are earning — as employment levels and hourly wage growth remain fairly strong . Some analysts see an opportunity to pick up shares of battered-down retail stocks. According to Barclay's Yih, spending levels "almost have to be worse" next year. LPL's Roach similarly expects consumers spending to hit a roadblock in the coming months.

Just 30 minutes after Trump was sworn in, Judge Arthur Engoron – frustrated by the former president’s non-answers – turned to the former president’s defense team for help. Trump is known for being long-winded and talking around an issue instead of answering questions directly. “This is not a political rally.”But Trump’s two lead attorneys, Chris Kise and Alina Habba, did little to help. “This is a very unfair trial,” Trump said from the witness stand. That narrative is a markedly different one than Trump’s two adult sons provided in testimony last week.

The high-stakes civil case strikes at the heart of Trump’s brand – his real estate empire. New York Attorney General Letitia James is suing Trump for $250 million and seeking to bar him from doing business in the state. Trump’s attacks in a vacuum weren’t particularly remarkable – he’s used the same barbs throughout the course of the trial, which he’s attended repeatedly as a spectator. Trump’s rhetoric prompts an angry response from the judgeEngoron tried at the outset of Trump’s testimony to stop the former president from making speeches and instead answer the questions, but it did little to change Trump’s approach. “There’s a disclaimer clause where you don’t have to get sued by the attorney general of New York,” Trump said.

Trump, at times seemingly unable to stop himself from melting into a temper tantrum, claimed repeatedly, “It's election interference.”“We have a very hostile judge,” he said at one point. I wanted a jury.”To be clear, this particular type of case proceeding – determining damages in a civil fraud case – doesn’t use juries. That narrative is a markedly different one than Trump’s two adult sons provided in testimony last week. But Engoron already dismissed that defense in finding Trump liable for fraud. The defense team is expected to call many of the witnesses who have already testified, including Trump himself and his two adult sons.

☆ Judge in Trump fraud trial expands gag order to Trump’s attorneys
▼ + stars: | 2023-11-03 | by ( Kara Scannell | ) edition.cnn.com time to read: +2 min

CNN —The judge overseeing Donald Trump’s civil fraud trial has expanded a gag order in the trial to extend to Trump’s attorneys after continued lengthy discussions about the judge’s communications with his law clerk during court this week. In a written order Friday, Judge Arthur Engoron prohibited Trump’s attorneys from making any further comments about confidential communications between the judge and his staff inside or outside of the courtroom. The second fine – $10,000 – came after Trump appeared to reference the clerk when speaking to reporters outside of the courtroom. Engoron said he has a right to seek counsel from his clerk and Trump’s legal team has no right to know what they are. “She’s a civil servant, she’s doing what I ask her to do.” Those notes are “confidential communications from my law clerk,” Engoron said Thursday, pounding on the bench.

Things grew heated when Amer apparently succeeded in undermining Eric Trump’s claims that he had little to do with his father’s financial statements. “I understand we had financials as a company,” Eric Trump said. Eric Trump replied: “It appears that way, yes.”In essence, both Trump sons are arguing that despite running the company, they knew nothing about its financial statements. In a bizarre passage of the trial, Trump attorney Chris Kise insisted: “I’m not a misogynist.

The back-to-back appearances Thursday from Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump – who both helped run the Trump Organization while their father was in the White House – comes ahead of the former president’s own testimony on Monday. Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump are co-defendants in the case, along with their father, the Trump Org., and several company executives. Eric Trump acknowledged he provided information to former Trump Org. But he tried to distinguish between specific statements of financial condition – his father’s personal financial statements at the heart of the civil case – and general financial records for the company. Some internal policies and methodologies “have been bolstered” since the investigation began, Trump Jr. said.

McDonald's and Chipotle Mexican Grill will raise their menu prices in California next year to offset the state's minimum wage increase for fast-food workers, executives said as both chains announced quarterly earnings in recent days. McDonald's has not decided how much it will hike prices in California as workers' wages rise to $20 an hour, CEO Chris Kempczinski said Monday. Restaurants have been hiking menu prices for more than two years in response to rising ingredient and labor costs. Unlike Chipotle, which owns the overwhelming majority of its locations, most of McDonald's California locations are run by franchisees. "We believe we're in a better position than our competitors to weather this, so let's use this as an opportunity to actually accelerate our growth in California," Kempczinski said.

New York (CNN) — Ivanka Trump must testify at her father’s New York civil fraud trial, the judge overseeing the case ruled on Friday. Ivanka Trump’s attorney had argued that she should not be forced to appear after an appellate court removed her as a defendant in the case. The judge also said Ivanka Trump should have submitted an affidavit asserting that she does not live or work in the state presently. Ivanka Trump was still identified by the New York attorney general’s office as a potential witness they could call in the case. Another Trump attorney, Cliff Robert, said Eric Trump is willing to be the corporate representative for the Trump Organization because he’s going to be testifying at trial anyway.

Former President Donald Trump sits in a New York State Supreme Court room alongside his lawyers including Chris Kise, right, on Tuesday. Another Trump attorney also confirmed a member of the former president’s team tested positive. The NY Attorney General’s office said it followed US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention guidelines. “As always, the Attorney General’s Office has followed and complied with CDC guidelines. Our office properly notified the court and defendants’ counsel, and the court decided to proceed with trial today,” a spokesman from the AG’s office said.

With Trump sitting feet away, Trump’s one-time lawyer and fixer described how he manipulated Trump’s financial statements – “reverse-engineering” them to hit an arbitrary net worth. We’re not worried at all about his testimony,” Trump said during a lunch break. The tense questioning is going to continue into Wednesday, as Habba hadn’t even started on the substance of Cohen’s testimony in the civil fraud trial. In the July 2014 letter submitting a bid to buy the Bills, Trump claimed his net worth was $8 billion. Before Engoron’s ruling, the state attorneys and Trump’s lawyers clashed over Michael Cohen’s testimony about the letter.

Chesebro was the third of 19 codefendants in the Georgia case to make a deal, a monumental legal and personal blow to Trump, who highly prizes loyalty among his associates. Another former Trump lawyer, Sidney Powell, entered into a plea deal Thursday, following a September deal by a lesser-known bail bondsman, Scott Hall. While other defendants – especially Trump – have pushed for later trial dates, Chesebro insisted on his right to a speedy trial. Jury selection for his case started Friday, and Chesebro entered into the plea deal hours after potential jurors filed into the courthouse. The Chesebro deal could be the third domino to fall against Trump and other high-level defendants such as former Trump lawyer and New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani.

The post was removed from Truth Social right after the gag order was issued but not from Trump’s campaign website, DonaldJTrump.com. “It appears no one also took down the ICYMI link that’s in the campaign website in the back pages,” Kise said. “There was no intention to evade, or circumvent, or ignore the order,” Kise added and explained nothing further has been posted on Trump’s Truth Social website. The judge said at the time failure to abide by the order would result in serious sanctions. “Requiring Ms. Trump, a non-party, nondomiciliary, to appear at trial in New York and provide live testimony without any limitations is unreasonable.
