NEW YORK (AP) — Former President Donald Trump has returned to his New York civil business fraud trial again. Trump showed up Thursday to watch an accounting professor discuss financial topics important to the case. Trump himself is scheduled to take the stand Monday, for a second time. The Republican 2024 presidential front-runner is devoting a lot of attention to the New York case. State Attorney General Letitia James’ suit accuses Trump, his company and some executives of misleading banks and insurers by giving them financial statements with inflated asset values. Trump denies any wrongdoing, and he posits that the statements’ numbers actually fell short of his wealth.
