| Donald Trump has left New York City after spending two and a half days in a Manhattan courtroom for a trial that could capsize his business empire.
In the hallway outside the courtroom and in statements on his social media platform, the former president repeatedly insulted the judge presiding over the case stemming from a multi-million dollar lawsuit from New York Attorney General Letitia James, whom Mr Trump has routinely labelled a "racist" and "corrupt".
"The Donald Trump Show is over," Ms James told reporters in the hall of the third floor courtroom inside the New York Supreme Court building on 4 October. "This was nothing more than a political stunt, a fundraising stop."
Judge Arthur Engoron hit Mr Trump with a gag order for his social media posts and hallway statements about a court clerk, but the former president has continued to attack Ms James as a "deranged lunatic" and a "political animal". | |
