Trump lashes out at judge outside New York courtroom

(2 Oct 2023) RESTRICTION SUMMARY: ASSOCIATED PRESS New York - 2 October 2023 1. SOUNDBITE (English) Donald Trump, former US President: “It’s a disgraceful trial put forward by an attorney general who’s corrupt. We have murders going on all over the city, all over the state at a record level. It’s an epidemic. And they waste their time on this, with banks that were very happy. They got all their money back. They weren’t defrauded. I’ve been defrauded with a judge that ruled that a building that a property is worth $18 billion, $18 million, when in fact it’s worth over a billion, probably a billion and a half if maybe worth anything. When many properties which I’ve sold are worth much more than were listed in the financial statements by double and triple. What you have to do. And we’re wasting our time on this trial with the Democrat judge from the clubhouses. It’s a disgrace. They ought to look for the murderers and the killers that are all over New York killing people and the violent crime that’s being committed in our city and our state is disgraceful. And we’re going to be here for months with a judge that already made up his mind. It’s ridiculous. He’s a Democrat judge, he’s an operative and it’s ridiculous. Other than that, things went very well.“ EDIT ENDS ON SOUNDBITE STORYLINE: The fraud lawsuit that could cost former President Donald Trump control of some of his most prized properties went to trial Monday, with New York state lawyers vowing to hold him accountable while he denounced the case as a politically motivated “scam.” The civil case, brought by New York Attorney General Letitia James, accuses the business-mogul-turned-politician and his company of deceiving banks, insurers and others by habitually misstating his wealth in financial statements. As he headed out into the halls for a lunch break, Trump lashed out at the process. “It’s a disgrace. They ought to look for the murderers and the killers that are all over New York killing people and the violent crime that’s being committed in our city and our state is disgraceful. And we’re going to be here for months with a judge that already made up his mind. It’s ridiculous,“ Trump said. =========================================================== Clients are reminded to adhere to all listed restrictions and to check the terms of their licence agreements.
