Trump Claims He Prevented 'Nuclear Holocaust' in Newly Released Deposition Video

The video is part of a civil fraud case accusing Trump of inflating his wealth and exaggerating asset values.

  • Donald Trump, in a newly released deposition video, claims he averted a 'nuclear holocaust' and 'saved millions of lives' during his presidency.
  • The video is part of a civil fraud case brought by New York Attorney General Letitia James, accusing Trump and his company of inflating his wealth and exaggerating the value of assets on annual financial statements used to secure loans and make deals.
  • Trump's demeanor in the video shifts from calm to indignant, at one point calling James' lawsuit a 'disgrace' and a 'terrible thing'.
  • Trump also claimed that his 'brand' alone is worth 'maybe $10 billion', attributing his political success to the ubiquity of his name and persona.
  • The judge in the case, Arthur Engoron, has indicated he will issue his ruling in the coming weeks.
