Former U.S. President Donald Trump, currently involved in a civil fraud trial in New York, made a self-deprecating comment about his weight while viewing a courtroom sketch. The comment, 'I gotta lose some weight,' was made in a light-hearted exchange with a courtroom artist. The trial, which began in October, is centered around allegations that Trump's company manipulated the value of its properties to obtain favorable financing.
During the trial, Trump's lawyers have been arguing against these allegations, stating that there is no evidence of accounting fraud. A defense witness also testified in support of this claim. The trial is one of several legal challenges Trump faces as he considers a potential comeback bid for the White House.
In addition to the trial proceedings, Trump has been vocal about his views on the trial and the judicial process. He has criticized the trial as a 'fraud' and a 'witch hunt,' claiming he is the victim of political targeting. He has also used the court as a platform to criticize his political rivals and the judges overseeing his cases.
Trump's son, Donald Trump Jr., has also shown interest in the courtroom artists' work. The trial is ongoing and is expected to conclude soon.
