Committed to Transparency: Expert Testifies in Trump's Legal Battle

The ongoing legal battle between former President Donald Trump and New York State Attorney General Letitia James has taken a new turn, with an expert witness testifying that there is no evidence of accounting fraud on behalf of the Trump Organization.

Professor Bartov, an accounting professor at New York University, presented his findings to the court, stating that the Trump Organization's outside auditors had a duty to spot any errors in their financial statements. However, he argued that these errors were not intentional attempts to mislead, but rather honest mistakes.

Bartov pointed out that the value of Trump's Manhattan triplex apartment was nearly tripled from $80m to $180m in one year, which he attributed to an error and not a deliberate attempt to manipulate the market. He also stated that his analysis shows that the statements of financial condition for all the years were not materially misstated.

Trump has denied any wrongdoing and accused James of being biased against him. In a statement on Truth Social, Trump wrote that this case was decided against him before it even started and that he is heading to a 'Witch Hunt' with a 'Crooked Judge' and a 'Bats.'

Ahead of his testimony, Trump attacked Judge Arthur Engoron and Attorney General James once again, claiming that they are part of a conspiracy against him. However, under oath, Trump will be gagged from attacking the judge's staff.

The case is set to go before the court again on Monday, with Trump expected to testify for a second time. The outcome of this case could have significant implications for Trump and his business empire.

As the battle continues, one thing is clear: both sides are committed to their positions. Trump remains adamant that there was no fraud, while James and her team are convinced that they have enough evidence to prove otherwise. Only time will tell how this legal saga unfolds.
