'Trump show is over': Attorney General Letitia James lashes out at former president's 'political stunt'
New York Attorney General Letitia James left the Manhattan courthouse Wednesday to tell the press that Donald Trump had left the building and was not expected to attend any more of his fraud trial.
She addressed his attacks on her and on others, but said that those attacks wouldn't be able to protect him from the consequences of the fraud case.
"Trump's comments were offensive, they were baseless," she told the press.
POLL: Should Trump be allowed to run for office?
"They were void of any facts and/or any evidence. What they were, were comments that unfortunately fomented violence and comments that I would describe as race-baiting, and comments, unfortunately, that appeal to the bottom of our humanity. This case was brought simply because it was a case where individuals have engaged in a pattern and practice of fraud, and I will not sit idly by and allow anyone to subvert the law.
"And lastly, I will not be bullied. And so Mr. Trump is no longer here. The Donald Trump show is over. This was nothing more than a political stunt."
MSNBC reporter Lindsey Reiser revealed Trump had a difficult time in court Wednesday, making audible remarks, throwing his arms up, shaking his head and interjecting at times saying he couldn't hear.
