Former President Donald Trump will be the final witness for the defense in his $250 million New York civil fraud trial, according to one of his attorneys.
As reported by CNBC, lawyer Christopher Kise said Trump’s testimony will take place on Dec. 11 “in the trial brought by New York Attorney General Letitia James, accusing him and his co-defendants of falsely inflating Trump’s assets for financial gain.”
Kise added that Trump’s son, Donald Trump Jr., will be testifying for the defense on Dec. 6. He, his father, and Eric Trump, another of Trump’s sons, have all already testified after answering questions from James’ office attorneys.
CNBC added: “Trump, who is running for president again in 2024, has decried the case as a witch hunt and lobbed accusations of political bias at James, as well as the presiding judge and his principal law clerk. Manhattan Supreme Court Judge Arthur Engoron has imposed gag orders barring Trump, his lawyers, and the other defendants in the case from commenting publicly about his clerk, Allison Greenfield. Engoron has also expressed concern about the hundreds of threatening and harassing messages that have inundated his chambers during the trial.”
