Lawyers to take up plodding task of going through years of Trump's financial documents
Trump's civil fraud trial to get down to business

A fter a fiery first day of opening arguments, lawyers in Donald Trump’s business

fraud trial in New York will move on Tuesday to the more plodding task of going through years of his financial documents in what’s expected to be a weeks-long fight over whether they constitute proof of fraud.

An accountant who prepared Trump’s financial statements for years was expected to be back on the witness stand for a second day.

Trump, who spent a full day Monday as an angry spectator at the civil trial, was contemplating a return to court as well.

After denouncing the judge and New York’s attorney general, who brought the lawsuit, Trump said in a courtroom hallway that he “may” be back for a second day, though he noted, “I’d love to be campaigning instead of doing this.”
