Trump on Trial in New York for Alleged Fraud: Expert Witness Testifies

Former President Donald Trump is currently on trial in New York for allegedly defrauding lenders. The trial is centered around a $250 million civil lawsuit filed by New York Attorney General Letitia James. The lawsuit accuses Trump and other top executives of the Trump Organization of engaging in a decade-long scheme to inflate Trump's net worth. The defense's request for a directed verdict to end the trial has been denied multiple times by Judge Arthur Engoron.

An expert witness in the trial, Eli Bartov, an accounting professor at New York University, testified in Trump's defense. Bartov received $900,000 in compensation for his work on the case, which was split between the Trump Organization and Trump's Save America PAC. Bartov worked approximately 650 hours on the case at an hourly rate of $1,350. The payment to the expert witness is not unusual in lawsuits, but it is being used by lawyers for the New York Attorney General to undermine the witness's credibility in the trial.

Trump has denied all wrongdoing and criticized the judge and the New York attorney general. He stated that he did nothing wrong and praised Bartov as a strong and respected person. The trial continues with Trump expected to testify again on Monday.
