Former President Trump is facing a trial in New York on Monday in a sweeping civil case that could jeopardize his control over some of his most famed properties.
A judge last week determined Trump had been liable for fraud for inflating the value of some of his properties in order to secure business loans.
Monday’s trial marks the start of a long legal road ahead for Trump, who also faces a combined 91 charges in four criminal cases and several other civil cases

Trump’s trial is set to begin at 10 a.m., but the New York courtroom where the civil fraud case will be heard is already beginning to fill up.
Three columns of four-seat benches line the white, gold and wood courtroom, with reporters lining those seats and the sides of the room.
Above the judge’s bench is the phrase “In God We Trust” and a large fresco-style painting showing a judge overseeing a courtroom.
Neither James nor Trump have yet arrived in the courtroom as of 9:45 a.m., but prosecutors have gathered at the front of the space in clusters.
Reporters lined up outside the courthouse early Monday morning hoping to earn a seat in the courtroom, flanked by cameras set up for live shots and a small handful of protestors chanting “Trump Lies, all the time.”— Ella Lee
Trump arrives at court in Manhattan (09:45 AM – OCTOBER 2, 2023)
Former President Trump has arrived at court in Manhattan after departing his Bedminster golf club. He is set to appear in court for the start of his civil fraud trial, according to CNN an the Associated Press.
Trump said Sunday night on his Truth Social that he’d attend the start of the New York attorney general’s case against him to “fight for my name and reputation.”
“THIS WHOLE CASE IS A SHAM!!! See you in Court – Monday morning,” he wrote.
Letitia James, the state’s attorney general, said in a Monday morning statement that her team won the foundation of their case last week when a New York judge ruled Trump and his business were liable for fraud, proving that the former president’s net worth has “long been rooted in incredible fraud.”
“In this country, there are consequences for this type of persistent fraud, and we look forward to demonstrating the full extent of his fraud and illegality during trial,” James said.— Ella Lee

Trump, standing outside court calls Letitia James a racist. Because she’s prosecuting a white guy. Alina Habba stands next to him, says nothing, just purses her lips and sucks in her cheeks, which is, as Trump has told her, her actual job. He already lost.

Justice Engoron just noted in court that “nobody asked for” a jury trial, which is why he’ll be presiding over Trump’s $250M civil fraud case without one.
