A lawyer has suggested that the former president damned himself with his testimony in the New York civil fraud trial.

During his Monday testimony, Trump admitted that his real estate company, The Trump Organization, submitted financial statements “to induce lending” from companies such as Deutsche Bank—an apparent admission to a key allegation by James’ office that the financial statements which inaccurately valued his net worth were done so to receive loans from banks and insurers.
