FILE - New York Attorney General Letitia James speaks during a news conference, Sept. 21, 2022, in New York. – An upcoming civil trial over allegations that former president Donald Trump lied about his wealth could last as long as three months, according to a schedule laid out Friday by the judge hearing the case.
The trial is expected to feature extensive amounts of expert testimony over how much Trump holdings, like his golf courses and skyscrapers, were actually worth. Judge Arthur Engoron, in an order filed Friday, said the trial should end by Dec. 22, though he added that the lawyers handling the case could ask for additional time if necessary.
He has also said that, even if some of the valuations listed in his financial statements weren't accurate, it didn't matter because each came with a disclaimer intended to tell banks that they were potentially “worthless” and shouldn't be relied on to make important business decisions. The trial, which could also potentially take less than the three months the judge has allotted, will come as Trump is also preparing for trials in four different criminal cases filed against him in Florida, Georgia, New York and Washington D.C.
