From a story on cnn.com by Jeremy Herb, Lauren del Valle, and Kara Scannell headlined “Takeaways from Donald Trump’s contentious testimony in his civil fraud trial”:

Donald Trump brought bombastic rhetoric to the witness stand Monday in the civil fraud case against him and his business, as he spent his time on the stand attacking the New York attorney general who brought the case and the judge overseeing the trial itself.

Trump’s testimony at times mimicked his appearances on the campaign trail, where the former president has made the four criminal cases against him – along with the New York attorney general’s civil fraud case – a central part of his argument to be elected president again in 2024.
