Former United States President Donald Trump has said he will attend court in New York for the start of a civil trial in a case that has already resulted in a judge ruling that he committed fraud in his business dealings.
“I’m going to Court tomorrow morning to fight for my name and reputation,” Trump wrote on Sunday night on his Truth Social platform.
The trial is due to get under way on Monday, threatening Trump’s business empire as he campaigns for the White House with four criminal cases looming.
The 77-year-old lashed out at New York Attorney General Letitia James, who is suing him, and Judge Arthur Engoron, who is presiding over the non-jury trial and ruled last week that Trump and his sons Eric and Don Jr had been inflating the value of the Trump Organization’s property and financial assets for years.
