The $250 million civil trial involving former Republican President Donald Trump's Trump Organization began in New York State Supreme Court this morning.

New York Attorney General Letitia James plans to call Trump, three of his adult children, other Trump Organization insiders and Trump's ex-lawyer and fixer Michael Cohen to testify. Cohen's congressional testimony about Trump inflating his assets to gain bank loans launched the financial fraud investigation in 2019.

Clifford Robert—lawyer for Eric Trump and Donald Trump Jr.—said Trump and his sons would all take the stand.

The news surprised many as Trump is notorious for avoiding depositions or providing any statements under oath.

And with good reason as Trump is also known for lying consistently.

Given that personal trait, people weren't certain testifying was in Trump’s best interest. Unlike most mainstream media coverage, Trump will be fact-checked and there will be consequences for lying.

Many online had the same response to the news.









Although some saw possible motives for Trump's decision to testify.


On Sunday, Trump took to Truth Social to attack AG James and Manhattan Supreme Court Justice Arthur Engoron.

In a press release Monday, AG James stated:

"For years, Donald Trump falsely inflated his net worth to enrich himself and cheat the system. We won the foundation of our case last week and proved that his purported net worth has long been rooted in incredible fraud."
"In this country, there are consequences for this type of persistent fraud, and we look forward to demonstrating the full extent of his fraud and illegality during trial."
"No matter how rich or powerful you are, there are not two sets of laws for people in this country. The rule of law must apply equally to everyone, and it is my responsibility to make sure that it does."

In a ruling last week, Justice Engoron found Trump, sons Eric and Donald Trump Jr., and their business associates liable for fraud and ordered the dissolution of Trump’s New York businesses. Engoron canceled the defendants’ New York business certificates and ordered an independent receiver to oversee their dissolution.

Trump has faced a similar ruling before.

The Donald J. Trump Foundation—a New York-based tax-exempt charitable foundation formed in 1988 by the former President—was dissolved by court order in 2018 for financial impropriety and other legal violations.

As prominent MAGA minions, like QAnon conspiracy peddler and former Georgia Republican Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene, have come out against MAGA Republican President Donald Trump, so too are some lesser known individuals.

Whether it's his Iran War, his continuing saga with the Epstein files, his utter failure to keep any of his campaign promises that they banked on helping them, or the abject incompetence of his hand-picked personnel, some members of MAGA are distancing themselves from the cult.

Trump Ripped For Somehow Making His 'Happy Mother's Day' Post All About Himself Without Any Mention Of Melania

President Donald Trump was criticized after he "honored" mothers on Mother's Day by attacking Democrats in a self-absorbed post on Truth Social, never mentioning his wife, First Lady Melania, who is the mother of his youngest son Barron.

Instead of acknowledging her and mothers around the country, Trump gloated about the economy and accused critics of having "Trump Derangement Syndrome," targeting Democrats and Jerome Powell, the Federal Reserve Chair he's been trying to push out of his administration.

Zach Galifianakis Expertly Lays Into Comedians Who Refuse To 'Challenge' Trump When He's A Guest On Their Podcasts

Actor and comedian Zach Galifianakis called out comedians who have had President Donald Trump on their podcasts and didn't "challenge" him, noting that they've effectively abdicated their role by not making jokes at Trump's expense or pushing back against things he says.

Galifianakis made that argument during a recent episode of Conan O’Brien Needs a Friend, where host Conan O'Brien remarked that few, if any, people have challenged a sitting president the way Galifianakis did when he interviewed then-President Barack Obama in 2014 on his satirical series Between Two Ferns.
