Former President Donald Trump is expected to arrive in New York on Monday for the start of his civil fraud trial against him, his eldest sons, their companies, and Trump Organization executives.

Opening statements in the civil trial are set to begin at 10 a.m., less than a week after Judge Arthur Engoron ruled that Trump and his co-defendants are liable for "persistent and repeated" fraud.

The former president told reporters on Friday that he may attend when asked if he would appear in New York for the trial. Trump posted late Sunday night that he was "going to Court tomorrow morning to fight for my name and reputation against a corrupt and racist Attorney General, Letitia James, who campaigned on 'getting Trump.'"

New York Attorney General Letitia James brought the $250 million lawsuit last September, alleging that the defendants committed repeated fraud by inflating assets on financial statements to get better terms on real estate loans and insurance policies.

Trump is likely to arrive before 10 a.m. Eastern time on Monday in New York.
