Trump admits in court he wasn't president in 2021 when he was 'keeping our country safe'

Former President Donald Trump was forced to admit in court that he was not president in 2021 when he took control of a trust controlling his businesses.

The admission came while Trump was on the stand in his $250 million fraud trial in New York on Monday.

"Trump brings up the 2021 valuation of the joint venture, but says he wasn't really involved with it," Law360 crime reporter Stewart Bishop revealed. "Trump says he was very busy as president."

"My threshold was China, Russia and keeping our country safe," Trump reportedly said.

Prosecutor Kevin Wallace offered to refresh Trump's memory.

"And just to refresh your recollection, you were not president in 2021?" he asked.

"No I wasn't," Trump admitted.
