Alina Habba

Donald Trump is headed back to court in New York City, where he's on trial in a civil lawsuit for business fraud, and he threatened revenge against President Joe Biden.

The twice-impeached former president, who was already found liable for fraud by the presiding judge in that case, blamed Biden for his legal woes and suggested he would direct government officials to seek retribution if he wins his third run for the White House next year.

Donald Trump's top lawyer Chris Kise shot to his feet for a dramatic objection Tuesday – and the courtroom erupted with laughter over it.

The moment came after witness and Trump's former lawyer Michael Cohen was being questioned by prosecutors – and revealed that he aided Trump in artificially inflating his assets to raise his own net worth.

New York Supreme Court Justice Arthur Engoron rebuffed objections of attorneys for former President Donald Trump and ordered his $250 million fraud trial to continue despite concerns about COVID-19.

At the start of Tuesday's hearing, Trump lawyer Chris Kise announced that four members of the attorney general's office had contracted COVID-19.

Donald Trump’s lawyers have launched an attack on the judge currently overseeing his fraud trial, accusing him of committing “errors” and acting above the law.

Attorneys Chris Kise, Clifford Robert and Michael Farina reached out to the New York appeals court, urging it to rule that Judge Arthur Engoron was wrong when he fined them for making frivolous arguments in pre-trial hearings.

Former President Donald Trump is scheduled to return to the courtroom for his civil fraud trial in New York on Tuesday, after a brief hiatus due to COVID-19 exposure. All of this comes as his former attorney and fixer Michael Cohen, who had to delay his testimony due to a pre-existing medical condition, finally takes the stand against his former boss.

On Sunday, Cohen told Raw Story that he thinks Trump's lawyer, Alina Habba, will likely run afoul of the judge.

The Donald Trump fraud trial won't happen on Monday because there is a "COVID issue," according to New York Attorney General Letitia James' office.

While details are unclear about the specific issue, it isn't targeting the Trump trial specifically, but the entire New York courthouse, where all cases will be paused on Monday. Typically, when there are infections in a given space the area is treated and disinfected.

MSNBC host and former Florida prosecutor Katie Phang made a guest appearance on "The Alex Witt Show" on Sunday afternoon where she reported that Donald Trump lawyer Alina Habba has been tabbed to cross-examine former Donald Trump lawyer Michael Cohen when he appears in court on Tuesday.

Cohen is scheduled to testify as part of the former president's financial fraud trial where New York Attorney General Letitia James is asking for a $250 million judgment against Trump and the Trump Organization.

With the former president also expected to be in attendance, Phang told her MSNBC colleague, "Yes. I expect to see some fireworks," while issuing a small smirk and explaining Habba was expected to "grill" Cohen.

She then added Habba "...will be doing the questioning on behalf of Donald Trump when it comes to the cross-examination of Donald Trump's former fixer, Michael Cohen."

"Michael Cohen has withstood hours upon hours of grilling, not only from congressional investigators but from law enforcement," she recalled. "I would not be surprised to see Michael Cohen be able to hold his ground, to make sure that he doesn't budge under any type of attempt of cross-examination by Alina Habba."

Former President Donald Trump's attorney in the civil fraud case, Christopher Kise, was forced by New York Judge Arthur Engoron to apologize to a pair of female attorneys he disparaged, reported Law360 on Thursday.

The interaction came during a sidebar after Engoron called lawyers up to discuss a filing from state Attorney General Letitia James about Trump's alleged failure to turn over records.

On Thursday morning, MSNBC host Joe Scarborough shared a composite clip of Donald Trump first complaining that he is being forced to attend his Manhattan bank fraud trial only to tell reporters four minutes later that he was on his way out the door to attend a golf event at his Doral golf course.

During a break in the proceeding on Wednesday the former president addressed the press outside the courtroom where he launched a diatribe aimed at New York Attorney General Letitia James, whom he claimed was making him attend the trial, therefore interfering with his ability to campaign for a second term after losing in 2020.

In the clip, Trump complained, "I have to be here instead of Iowa, New Hampshire, South Carolina, lots of other great places -- they want me to be here."

Four minutes later, Trump was asked: "Will you be here tomorrow?" to which he replied, "Probably not. I have a very big professional golf tournament at Doral, so probably not."

"Perfection!" the MSNBC host laughed as co-host Mika Brezinski exclaimed, "Oh my God!"

With the MSNBC chyron reading, "Trump can't remember own lie," Brezinski added, "The brain can't hold information," as Scarborough mocked the president.

A woman arrested at Donald Trump's New York fraud trial was said to be a court employee who wanted to "assist" the former president.

Law 360 reporter Frank G. Runyeon first reported that the woman was arrested after approaching Trump during the trial.
