Former President Donald Trump is furious with the judge in charge of his kids’ fraud trial, accusing the judge of bias and urging him to leave his children alone as they get ready to testify under oath this week.
Trump’s three oldest children, Donald Jr., Eric, and Ivanka, are set to appear in court as witnesses in a lawsuit brought by New York Attorney General Letitia James. The suit alleges that the Trump family and their company, The Trump Organization, inflated the value of their assets and properties for financial gain.
The former president and his sons deny any wrongdoing and claim that the case is politically motivated. Ivanka Trump was initially named as a defendant but was later dropped from the lawsuit, although she was still called to testify as a witness.

In a post on his social media platform, Truth Social, Trump criticized Judge Arthur Engoron, who is presiding over the trial, and accused him of being biased and working with James. He called it a “rigged trial” and insisted his children had nothing to do with it.
The outburst came after Judge Engoron warned Trump not to make public statements that could endanger the safety of those involved in the trial. Engoron also denied a motion to quash Ivanka Trump’s subpoena.
The trial, which began on October 18, is expected to continue into mid-November, and James’ office plans to call Trump as the final witness. This civil fraud lawsuit is just one of several legal challenges Trump faces in New York, including criminal charges of tax fraud and conspiracy.
In summary, Trump is upset with the judge in his children’s fraud case, accusing him of bias and urging him to leave his kids alone. The trial continues, and Trump faces multiple legal challenges in New York.
