Trump believes this ruling dismisses a significant portion of the case \u2063against\u2062 him \u200cand has sued Justice\u200d Engoron accordingly.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>After opening \u2063arguments, the court adjourned for lunch. The\u2062 state\u200c called its first witness, Donald\u200c Bender, a \u2064former Mazars accountant.\u2063 Trump&#8217;s attorney\u200d objected to Bender&#8217;s testimony, arguing that it fell outside the statute of limitations. Justice Engoron allowed the testimony but emphasized the need for a connection to the allowed period.<\/p>\n<p>Day\u200b one concluded with \u2064President Trump expressing his appreciation for the judge&#8217;s consideration of the statute of limitations. He hopes \u2063to\u2062 avoid returning to court and resume campaigning instead.<\/p>\n<p>Trump asserts that banks \u2063were not defrauded and actually profited \u2064from their dealings with him. His defense plans to call witnesses \u200cto support this claim, including experts on real estate valuations.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p> <\/p>\n<h2>\n<div class=\"text-comp-caption text-[14px] leading-[18px]\">9\/29\/2023<\/div>\n<\/h2>\n<p><span>  &#8220;><\/p>\n<div class=\"mb-5 md:mt-8 md:px-[-80px] grid grid-cols-3 gap-4\">\n<div class=\"bg-[#fbfbfb] rounded-hard p-4 md:col-span-2\">\n<h2 class=\"mb-4 mt-0 font-sans text-[16px] font-semibold uppercase leading-[19px] text-[#2F2F2F]\">Read\u2064 More<\/h2>\n<div class=\"grid grid-cols-1 gap-4\">\n<div class=\"bg-[#EEEEEE] rounded-hard p-3 sm:p-4 mb-4\">\n<h3 class=\"mb-1\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.theepochtimes.com\/us\/former-trump-foundation-being-liquidated-amid-controversy-5473008?ea_src=author_manual&#038;ea_med=related_stories\">Former Trump Foundation Being Liquidated Amid \u200cControversy<\/a><\/h3>\n<div class=\"text-comp-caption text-[14px] leading-[18px]\">9\/29\/2023<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"bg-[#EEEEEE] rounded-hard p-3 sm:p-4 mb-4\">\n<h3 class=\"mb-1\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.theepochtimes.com\/opinion\/trump-did-more-for-religious-liberty-than-any-previous-president-5483830?ea_src=author_manual&#038;ea_med=related_stories\">Trump Did More for\u200d Religious Liberty Than Any Previous President<\/a><\/h3>\n<div class=\"text-comp-caption text-[14px] leading-[18px]\">9\/29\/2023<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"bg-[#fbfbfb] rounded-hard p-4\">\n<h2 class=\"mb-4 mt-0 font-sans text-[16px] font-semibold uppercase leading-[19px] text-[#2F2F2F]\">You May Also Like<\/h2>\n<div class=\"grid grid-cols-1 gap-4\">\n<div class=\"bg-[#EEEEEE] rounded-hard p-3 sm:p-4 mb-4\">\n<h3 class=\"mb-1\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.theepochtimes.com\/us\/topless-protesters-demand-release-of-ghislaine-maxwell-outside-new-york-court-4548304?ea_src=author_manual&#038;ea_med=related_stories\">Topless Protesters Demand Release of Ghislaine Maxwell \u200dOutside \u2062New York Court<\/a><\/h3>\n<div class=\"text-comp-caption text-[14px] leading-[18px]\">7\/16\/2021<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"bg-[#EEEEEE] rounded-hard p-3 sm:p-4 mb-4\">\n<h3 class=\"mb-1\"><a href\n<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Former President Donald Trump appeared in court on Oct. 2 for the civil fraud trial at New York State Supreme Court.
