While DeSantis provided specific evidence to back up his claims, Newsom gladly defended Biden’s unproductive agenda and the dysfunctional state of California at the moment.
Christopher Kise has declared that Donald Trump will testify on December 11th, according to CNBC. This testimony relates to a trial that Attorney General Letitia James of New York started. The main focus of the trial is the accusation that Trump and his associates fabricated his assets in order to benefit financially from them.

Additionally, Kise verified that President Trump’s son, Donald Trump Jr., will testify on December 6th on behalf of the defense. James’ office attorneys have already questioned him, his father, and another of the President’s sons, Eric Trump.
CNBC noted further: “Trump, who is running for president again in 2024, has decried the case as a witch hunt and lobbed accusations of political bias at James, as well as the presiding judge and his principal law clerk. Manhattan Supreme Court Judge Arthur Engoron has imposed gag orders barring Trump, his lawyers, and the other defendants in the case from commenting publicly about his clerk, Allison Greenfield. Engoron has also expressed concern about the hundreds of threatening and harassing messages that have inundated his chambers during the trial.”
This week, a New York state appeals court upheld the gag order that was initially imposed on Trump by the magistrate overseeing his case.
“The ruling Thursday by a four-judge panel rejected Trump’s appeal and reinstated the orders against Trump and his lawyers, who’d repeatedly complained about the clerk in court,” NBC News reported.
“State court officials had argued the gag order was necessary because of the ‘deluge’ of threats directed at the clerk after Trump had blasted her on social media. Trump renewed his attacks on the clerk after a judge from the state Appellate Division issued a temporary stay of the order earlier this month,” the report added.
Initially, a gag order was issued by Judge Arthur Engoron, who was supervising the $250 million case filed by Attorney General Letitia James of New York. This decision came after his earlier finding that Trump had lied to banks and inflated his net worth in order to obtain favorable loans.
The testimony of a Deutsche Bank executive may have made James’ case worse.

David Williams, a former employee of Deutsche Bank who was involved in one of the loans Trump received prior to taking office, testified during the Trump legal team’s interrogation that it is unusual, but not completely unheard of, for the bank to reduce a client’s stated asset value by 50% and still approve a loan, as they did with Trump. Bloomberg News reported this information.
Jesus Suarez, a Trump lawyer, questioned Williams, a managing director of the bank owned by Germany, “Is the bank capable of reaching its own judgment based on the evaluation it makes of the guarantor’s financial condition?”
“Certainly, yes,” Williams said.
Bloomberg also mentioned: “The suit brought last year by New York Attorney General Letitia James accuses Trump of inflating his assets by as much as $3.6 billion a year to get better terms from banks and insurers. Trump is scheduled to take the witness stand for the second time on Dec. 11, when he’s likely to double down on his earlier testimony that no banks were financially harmed by loaning to him.”
James is demanding that Trump be barred from engaging in any more business dealings within the state of New York, along with a staggering $250 million in financial penalties.
James’s lawyer, Kevin Wallace, emphasized to Judge Arthur Engoron that the state’s case is not undermined by James’ testimony. Wallace made it clear that Trump’s deliberate use of forged financial documents—rather than the question of whether Deutsche Bank was a victim—is what matters most in this trial, according to Bloomberg.
Bloomberg added: “Trump, who denies wrongdoing and claims the case is politically motivated, is calling to the stand this week four current and former Deutsche Bank employees — including the family’s former private banker Rosemary Vrablic — as part of his defense case seeking to flip the script on the state’s version of events. The testimony could undermine the state’s portrayal of Deutsche Bank as Trump’s biggest victim.”
