NextImg:Trump says he will testify in fraud case 'at the appropriate time'


Former President Donald Trump says he will be testifying in the $250 million fraud case levied against the Trump Organization in New York.

Trump, speaking to press outside the courtroom on day two of the trial, said he will testify when asked by a reporter on Tuesday. He also said he thinks the trial is going "very well."

"Yes I will. At the appropriate time I will be," Trump said in response to the question from reporters.

In brief remarks to the assembled press, the former president insisted that there was "no fraud" and said that "extremely strong" financial statements were given in court, which he claims showed that "the assets are much more valuable as opposed to less valuable." He then renewed his claim that the case against his organization is "a scam."

"This case is a scam. There can't be fraud when you've told institutions to do their own work. This case is a fraud and it's a scam," Trump said before heading back into the courtroom.

Earlier on Tuesday, Trump told reporters that New York Attorney General Letitia James, who brought the claims against him, is "grossly incompetent."

"[The judge] has been given false information, misleading information, and corrupt information by a very corrupt and incompetent attorney general, Letitia James. This woman is grossly incompetent. She ran on the basis 'I will get Trump,' without knowing anything about me," Trump said earlier.

James filed the lawsuit alleging fraud by the Trump Organization last year and is seeking $250 million in damages along with hoping to block Trump from doing business in New York.

Justice Arthur Engoron has already found Trump liable for the fraud claims, but now the nonjury trial will proceed to examine the six claims brought by James.
