Trump and associates accused of fraud and deception in civil trial as Cohen testimony looms
- Donald Trump voluntarily attended first days of New York civil fraud trial against him and Trump Organization but skipped later days when former CFO Allen Weisselberg testified.
- Weisselberg gave evasive testimony, frequently saying "I don't recall," and admitted to inflating the size of Trump's penthouse but called it insignificant.
- Evidence revealed Trump signed a document decades ago that showed the true smaller size of his penthouse, contradicting later financial statements.
- Michael Cohen, Trump's former lawyer and fixer, was set to testify but postponed due to a health issue.
- The trial concerns allegations of fraud, falsifying records, insurance fraud and conspiracy, with NY Attorney General Letitia James seeking penalties of $250 million and a ban on Trump's business in New York.
