Judge Engoron ruled that Trump and his co-defendants, which include his adult sons and other company executives, were liable for fraud.
The judge reached that determination after General Tish James' office "submitted conclusive evidence" that Trump and others overvalued their assets by between $812 million and $2.2 billion from the years 2014 to 2021.
Trump slammed the trial as a "witch hunt" that is "very corrupt" while continuing to deny any wrongdoing.

"There were no victims. The bank loves us," he told reporters. "The bank testified they love us. We did absolutely nothing wrong. We never even defaulted. We never had a default letter sent to us. The bank said we were perfect customers. The bank didn't even know why they were here."
The 2024 hopeful said the judge "ruled against me" long ago. "The attorney general sits here because she knows that she has a judge that no matter all the evidence, that judge is going to rule in her favor," he doubled down. "The case hadn't started, he knew nothing, and he ruled against me."

Trump also sang the praises of his witness, New York University accounting professor Eli Bartov, whom he described as "one of the greatest experts in the country."
"My main finding is that there is no evidence whatsoever of any accounting fraud," Bartov declared in Manhattan Supreme Court. He said Trump's financial statements "were not materially misstated."

At one point during the trial, Bartov was accused by a state lawyer of being hired to "say whatever they want in this case," which outraged him. "You should be ashamed of yourself, talking to me like that!" he fired back. "I am here to tell the truth."
The testimony should wrap up just shy of Christmas, and closing arguments are ahead in January.
