Former President Trump introduced on his social media platform, Fact Social, on Sunday, that he not plans to testify at his civil fraud trial on Monday.
Trump had been scheduled to testify Monday as one of many remaining protection witnesses in a trial that has lasted two months and is getting into its remaining week of testimony.
Courtroom officers additionally confirmed to Fox Information that Trump has notified the court that he’s not testifying.
“As everyone knows, I have very successfully & conclusively testified in the corrupt, Biden directed, New York state attorney general’s rigged trial against me. World renowned experts, highly respected bank & insurance executives, real estate professionals, as well as others, both honest & credible, have stated, clearly & unequivocally, that I, and my very successful company, did nothing wrong! My financial statements were conservative, liquid, & ‘extraordinary,’” Trump posted.

The reversal of Trump’s testimony got here after an accounting skilled testified that the AG’s case had no advantage and that he didn’t see any proof of fraud within the monetary statements that had been being challenged by the AG.
“A top professor from NYU Stern said, “If Mr. Trump had been my pupil, he would get an ‘A’ on his monetary statements. I’ve by no means seen a press release that offered a lot element, and is so clear, as these statements.” Plus, they all have an ironclad disclaimer clause stating that the users must do their own due diligence & analysis – no reliance! The only fraud committed was by the highly partisan and out-of-control judge, and racist A.G., who promised that, ‘I will get Trump,’” Trump exclaimed.
New York Legal professional Basic Letitia James is looking for $250 million in damages and to bar Trump from conducting enterprise within the state. The attorney general’s complaint accuses Trump, his sons and his firm of fraudulently inflating the values of his properties to acquire extra favorable mortgage and insurance coverage charges.

“Donald Trump already testified in our financial fraud case against him. Whether or not Trump testifies again tomorrow, we have already proven that he committed years of financial fraud and unjustly enriched himself and his family. No matter how much he tries to distract from reality, the facts don’t lie,” James instructed Fox Information.
Trump went on to share extra particulars about his reasoning for not testifying.
“They claimed that Mar-a-Lago was worth only $18,000,000, when it is worth 50 to 100 times that amount, in order to illegally reduce my values & make a fake case against me. They did this on other properties, as well, and wouldn’t give me a jury. Likewise, the A.G. thugs do not want to acknowledge that I have paid almost 300 million dollars in New York City and state taxes during the years in question. Importantly, I won at the appellate division, which effectively ended most of the case, but the biased judge refused to accept their order, an unheard of first!” Trump posted.

Trump continued his submit by calling the case a witch hunt in opposition to him.
“Based on the above, and the fact that our unassailable final expert witness has been so strong and irrefutable in his testimony, which will conclude on Tuesday, and that I have already testified to everything and have nothing more to say other than that this is a complete and total election interference (Biden campaign!) witch hunt, that will do nothing but keep businesses out of New York, I will not be testifying on Monday. Maga!” Trump stated.
