This is a very interesting look at Trump's fraud trial.

If you get, as I did, an advertisement blocking your view of several paragraphs, try this MSN posting of the same Newsweek article.

To my way of thinking, questioning or even attacking Prof. Bartov's integrity is a mistake. Instead, it seems to me, Trump's team shopped around for a fringe thinker whose views suit their client's case. If I am wrong about this, accountants will know. Meanwhile, legal analysis seems to edge out accounting analysis.

I think I need to go back to watch the Monty Python sketch on accountancy.

Trump Witness Undermined Credibility With Payment Remarks: Ex-Prosecutor

Eli Bartov was paid $877,500 before telling a New York civil trial there is "no evidence" the former president committed fraud.

Newsweek
Trump Was as Courteous, Professional, and Respectful as We All Expected at His Fraud Trial

During his $250 million fraud trial on Monday, Trump repeatedly insulted the judge, called the trial “a political witch hunt," and kept rambling on about fraud.

Jezebel

#Trump took the witness stand shortly after 10AM ET, Monday, November 6, 2023.

Atty #KevinWallace is questioning on direct for the #NYAG. The first topic is the #DonaldJTrumpRevocableTrust, which was used to hold Trump’s assets while he was in office.

Wallace is asking about 2021, & trustee changes that year. Wallace asks what was different that year.

Trump:

“Well other than you & every other Democrat [bringing investigations]”

(Oh-frickin-joy straight to the antagonizing)

Fmr #Trump #accountant #DonaldBender is back on the stand for a third day of testimony.

Trump's lawyer #JesusSuarez continues his lengthy cross-examination.

#KevinWallace, the lead lawyer on the #NYAG’s case, objected after Suarez began to ask #Bender about financial statements year by year, despite getting similar answers each time (& being told not to by the Judge yesterday)

#WhitleyPenn #accountant, #CameronHarris, said he was responsible for compiling & checking the docs for obvious errors but the clients were ultimately in charge of preparing the info.

"Who's responsible for the statement of financial condition?" asked state atty #KevinWallace.

"The client's responsible for that," Harris replied.

Things got more professional after #Trump left. Before, they objected so often Engoron called them out. After, defense didn’t log a single one.
