Donald Trump clashes with judge during New York fraud trial - BBC News

Donald Trump repeatedly clashed with a judge and defended his family's business as he testified in a civil fraud trial in New York.

During almost four hours on the witness stand, the former US president disputed claims that he deceived banks and aired grievances with the case.

The judge told him to stop treating his court appearance like a “political rally”.

Prosecutors are seeking a $250m (£202m) fine and severe business restrictions.

The Judge has already decided the outcome of the trial and if this woman was a true journalist she would be bringing the world the truth not a pack of lies.

Why is it that every time we get a clip of Trump speaking, the BBC has to put a voice over on top of it with their interpretation, instead of letting us hear what he has to say? I will find the footage of Trump speaking on some of the independent channels on Youtube and draw my own conclusions, thank you.

The BBC further discredit themselves (if that were possible) by their pantomime villain portrayal of Trump.

[trevorbryan]

We have a mayor of London destroying people's lives and nothing

[koostory]

LOL Judge already found him GUILTY 😂😂😂

[LJAndrews]

The BBC would slate Trump and ignore the kiddie sniffer, what do you expect from the company that let Saville run

[kevster]

Why does the BBC angle this whole article against Trump.

[benhurley]

Look at the tone and words chosen when they speak about Trump, I think most of us are not stupid enough to let them coerce us into how and what we should think… I hope!

[rick]

the BBC prides itself on impartiality 😂

[naqaqamax]

He hasn’t been accused, he’s already been found guilty and this is to decide the damages due. How can you get that key part wrong BBC?

[john-]

The BBC in its element. Vilification of Trump and right-wing issues.

[gilesbaron]

His assets are not overvalued and none of the lenders have complained about the loans which were made and paid. This is nonsense.

[GavinMCox]

The judge valued Mar-a-Lago at 18 million dollars. You couldn't even buy 1 of the 126 room for that. Typical BBC propaganda

[enigmaaoe]

Disgusting journalism, never giving the full story, notice the BBC never shows full unedited speeches of trump.

[civviBeats]

BBC still hasn't read the room obviously.

[sbeast]

Feels like a political witchhunt. Why are they doing all this now?

[Southpaw.m]

I find it almost impossible to accept the bbc narrative and submit many of these journos are closer to activists than true old fashioned fact finders

[tedoneil]

Size of that thing she can’t even measure a set of bathroom scales, let alone the scales of justice 😂

[gibbadygoowho]

BBC you need to zip it and let the people hear what’s being said instead you make your own opinion of it all and stream a load of crap. Defund the bbc literally the cause of most problem’s

[jamesmaybury]

The BBC accusing someone else of taking a quote out of context 😂😂😂!
