Former President Donald Trump spent the minutes before his civil fraud trial in New York attacking the judge who will be ruling on the case.
Standing just outside the courtroom, Trump told reporters that New York Judge Arthur Engoron was a "rogue judge" who supposedly unfairly undervalued Trump's properties in concluding that he for years had committed financial fraud.
The former president also lashed out at New York Attorney General Letitia James, who brought the lawsuit against Trump.
POLL: Should Trump be allowed to run for office?
"We have a racist attorney general who is a horror show!" Trump exclaimed. "She ran on the basis of she was going to get Trump before she even knew anything about me!"
Trump concluded his remarks by calling the lawsuit "a scam and a sham."
Trump last week exploded at Engoron after the judge found him liable for committing business fraud as head of the Trump Organization.
In addition to being found liable for fraud, Trump also faces indictments in four different jurisdictions on 91 felony counts on crimes ranging from unlawfully retaining top-secret government documents at his Mar-a-Lago resort, conspiring to defraud the United States by illegally remaining in power after losing the 2020 presidential election, and committing business fraud related to making hush money payments to an adult film star.
