Lawyers for President Donald Trump argued that New York Attorney General Letitia James harbors bias against the former president in court on Monday.
Trump attorney Alina Habba highlighted that James began investigating Trump soon after she gained office in 2019, and that she promised voters during her campaign that she would "get Trump" if elected.
She went on to state that the Trump Organization's valuations of its own property were not fraudulent.
“The state of [Trump's] financial condition was undervalued," she stated.
Habba continued by saying that prosecutors would have Judge Arthur Engoron believe that if you listed your house at one price but it sold for a lower one, then you committed fraud.
Trump's defense team argued that Mar-a-Lago, Trump's Florida home, would sell for "at least" $1. billion, orders of magnitude above Judge Engoron's valuation of $18 million.
Trump himself spoke to reporters outside the courtroom shortly after Habba's statemnet. He argued that he has been "defrauded" by Engoron's low valuation.
"We're wasting time with this trial. It's a disgrace," Trump said. "The judge already made up his mind. He's a democrat. He's an operative."

What else is new... One day...!!
WATCH: Judge Arthur Engoron, the judge in President Trump’s “civil fraud trial” was smiling and posing for the cameras in court today while President Trump was sitting in the court room.
This is wildly inappropriate and proves the bias of the judge, and the fact that this is a WITCH HUNT. pic.twitter.com/4DkFHuBv9t— Laura Loomer (@LauraLoomer) October 2, 2023
Trump’s right, and James’ record proves it.
Such an a-hole. 😡
Freedoms are taking a nose dive in United States when current president can indict his opponent in coming election on bogus charges. We are now a banana republic.
I take that back. We are not even a republic anymore. We are just a banana.
The fact is, nobody knows the actual current value of an asset until it is sold. Anything before that is speculation.
There is something called “an appraisal”.
I say that FR is worth a billion billion.
a-hole?
Jack A$$ = Hee! Haww! Hee! Haww! Hee! Haww!
Just disgusting. That judge should be disbarred.
Yes, and appraisals are not determinative of actual market value. They are estimations.
👍 With AWFUL yellow teeth.
With all his money, one would think he could ask his dentist (if he has one) for some whitening sessions.
Yes, Ugly.
But imagine what his brain tissue looks like.
So Trump is only supposed to be judged by Republicans? What if they support someone other than Trump?
What an F’ing whiner. Grow up. Get your act together Donald.
Trump has a legitimate beef, here.
“Whining” it ain’t.
A-hole.
Now he is out singing the judges praises.
Trump cannot make up his mind.
Wow…thats the best you can do? I bet when you speak you use “dems and does” a lot. Your knuckles probably drag on the ground as well.
Stay classy. And try to keep up.
What are you even babbling about? This whole case will be struck down in appellate court. Maralago is worth around $118 million not $18 million. Kathryn is asking $100 million for Rush’s estate and its only 2 acres and not a business.
