he continued, acknowledging the numerous inquiries he has received. However, \u200dhe emphasized his\u200c focus on his presidential campaign and leading in \u200dthe polls. &#8220;The Republican Party has many outstanding candidates for the role\u200b of speaker&#8230; I will do everything I can to\u200b assist, but my primary focus is on being\u2062 president and, frankly, making America great again, as we \u200dare currently in \u2062a state of decline.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h2>Trump Arrives, Tells Press, &#8216;This Is the Beginning of Communism&#8217;\u20149:58\u2064 a.m.<\/h2>\n<p>President Trump\u200c highlighted that the\u2064 case against him is based on Executive\u2062 Law 63(12), a consumer fraud\u200c statute that\u200d does not require proof of victimhood, which he deemed &#8220;possibly unconstitutional.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>&#8220;This is simply a continuation of the witch hunt that began the day I descended \u2063the escalator at Trump Tower,&#8221; he asserted.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It doesn&#8217;t grant me a jury, it doesn&#8217;t grant me anything,&#8221; he argued. He accused New York Attorney General Letitia James of &#8220;driving companies out \u200bby the thousands, forcing people out&#8221; due to \u200dher &#8220;incompetence,&#8221; which has resulted in increased crime and violence.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;She did this because she \u2064was running for governor,&#8221; he claimed.<\/p>\n<p>He stated \u200bthat this statute has never been utilized in a case like the one\u2064 against him, which he once again denounced as &#8220;election interference.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>President\u200d Trump confidently declared that if he had a jury, he would &#8220;easily win this case.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;You can see what&#8217;s \u2062happening here, this is a railroad. This\u2064 marks the beginning of communism in our country,&#8221; he warned. &#8220;It&#8217;s a disgrace for our nation.

He did not attend the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/live-updates-trump-expected-to-attend-day-3-of-ny-fraud-trial\/\" title=\"Trump to Attend Day 3 of NY Fraud Trial: Live Updates\">defamation case trials earlier<\/a> this year, but he has expressed the possibility \u200cof testifying in the four criminal cases he is still facing.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>At stake is his entire Trump Organization conglomerate, as the judge \u200dhas already ordered its dissolution, \u200dwith the specifics yet \u2064to be determined, and the potential loss of all his New York properties.

He has previously stated that targeting his \u2064businesses is a &#8220;red line&#8221; and has built his image around being a successful billionaire entrepreneur. He has\u2064 repeatedly criticized the prosecution and the judge for undervaluing his net worth\u200d and properties since New York Supreme Court Justice Arthur Engoron issued a pretrial summary \u200cjudgment in favor of Ms. James, who accused President Trump of inflating his net worth by $812 million to $2.2 billion.<\/p>\n<p>On the second day of\u2062 the trial, \u2062Forbes released its annual Forbes 400 list of America&#8217;s wealthiest individuals, excluding the former president. The publication estimated his net worth to be $2.6 billion, a $600\u200c million decrease\u200c from the previous year.<\/p>\n<p>On Truth Social, President Trump expressed his dissatisfaction with being tried under a law that does not require proof of victimhood and his lack of\u2063 entitlement to a jury (without any alternative \u200doption).<\/p>\n<p>The\u2064 trial\u2062 is\u2062 a bench trial, meaning the judge alone determines the facts and\u200d delivers the verdict. On Monday, Justice Engoron noted at the start of\u200d the trial that no party had requested a \u2063jury trial\u2014both the \u200dprosecution and\u200c defense later \u2062clarified to the media that the defense did not have the option to request one, and\u200c the prosecution is \u2063seeking penalties that can only be ordered by a judge.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p> <\/p>\n<h2> What is the reason for not having a \u2064jury in the New York Attorney\u2064 General&#8217;s office \u2064trial involving President Trump?<\/h2>\n<p><span>  The New York Attorney General&#8217;s office.\u200d The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/the-derek-chauvin-trial-coverage-to-ninth-day\/\" title=\"The Derek Chauvin Trial \u2013 Coverage to Ninth Day\">trial began yesterday<\/a> and is expected to continue for several days. In a recent statement, President Trump addressed the issue of not having a \u2063jury in the case.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This is a very\u2063 unusual situation,&#8221; he stated. &#8220;Typically,\u2064 in a civil case, you would have \u200ba jury of your \u200bpeers. But in this case, the statute\u200c does not \u200dprovide for a jury. It&#8217;s a one-sided process, and \u2064that&#8217;s why I believe it&#8217;s unfair.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>President Trump explained that without a jury, he does not have the opportunity to present his case to a group of individuals who \u2064can evaluate the evidence and make a \u2063fair decision.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I have full confidence\u2063 in my legal team, and we\u2063 will \u200dpresent a strong defense,&#8221; he said. \u2063&#8221;But \u2064it&#8217;s concerning that there is \u2062no jury to provide an independent assessment of the facts.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>President \u200cTrump also raised \u200cconcerns about the statute being used against \u200dhim. He \u2062argued that\u2062 it \u2063is \u200dbeing selectively applied and \u200cpotentially infringing on his constitutional \u2062rights.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This statute has never been used in a case\u200d like mine before,&#8221; he claimed. \u2064&#8221;It seems like a targeted effort to \u2064undermine my reputation and \u200dinterfere with the political process.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The former president \u2062went on \u2062to criticize\u2062 New York Attorney General Letitia \u200bJames,\u200b accusing her of using the case for political gain.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;She&#8217;s \u200djust trying to make a name for herself,&#8221; he asserted. &#8220;She&#8217;s running \u2064for governor, and she&#8217;s using this case\u200d to further her own interests. It&#8217;s a disgraceful abuse of power.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>President Trump expressed his frustration with the entire legal \u200dprocess, calling \u200bit\u200d a &#8220;witch hunt&#8221; that\u2064 has been ongoing since \u200bhis\u200c presidency.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;They&#8217;ve\u2064 been\u2064 after me \u200dfrom\u200c day one,&#8221; he said. &#8220;They&#8217;re trying to tear me down and erase \u200dmy legacy. But the American people know the truth, and we\u2064 will prevail.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Despite \u200dhis concerns, President Trump assured his\u2063 supporters that he will continue to fight\u2063 for his innocence and \u2062for the future of the Republican Party.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I will not let this distract me from my\u200c mission to \u2064make America great again,&#8221; he declared. &#8220;We have a lot of \u200cimportant\u200d work to do, and I will not be deterred.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>As the trial enters its\u2063 third day, all eyes are on the courtroom.
