Donald Trump has been told to “stop giving speeches at the stand” by a New York judge as the former president battles a civil fraud trial threatening his real estate empire.

“Please, just answer the questions, no speeches,” Judge Arthur Engoron told Trump as he gave evidence.The former president is accused of significantly inflating the value of his real estate empire by over $2 billion so he could secure more favourable bank loans. He denies any wrongdoing.He had appeared in court last week where he was fined $10,000 after he was deemed to have personally attacked court staff in the trial, breeching a gag order.

He was asked by the attorney general's office about what had happened in July 2021 when control of his trust was transferred to Donald Trump Jr.“You and about every other Democrat district attorney... US attorneys etc were coming after me from 15 different sides,” Trump responded from the stand.“All democrats, all Trump haters, all cases that are not good, inappropriate and not good. Weaponisation, they call it.”Trump then hit out at the judge.
