Donald Trump lashes out at court after giving evidence in civil fraud trial

Former president Donald Trump defended his wealth and business on Monday, tangling from the witness box with the judge overseeing his civil fraud trial and denouncing as a “political witch hunt” a lawsuit accusing him of dramatically inflating his net worth. Trump's long-awaited evidence about property valuations and financial statements was punctuated by personal jabs at a judge he said was biased against him and at the state attorney general, who he derided as a “political hack". He boasted of his property business and disputed claims that he had deceived banks and insurers.
