2. SOUNDBITE (English) Letitia James, New York State Attorney General:
"Good evening, everyone. This has been a four year investigation and there is mountains of evidence which basically corroborate the testimony of a number of witnesses. It's also important to know that Michael Cohen is not the main witness. His evidence has been corroborated by the mountains of evidence, enough evidence to fill the courtroom. And so I look forward again to this trial continuing. And of course I always look forward to justice. Thank you very much. And let me also remind you that the judge has already made a decision with respect to the summary judgment. There is sufficient evidence to prove that, in fact, Mr. Trump, the Trump Organization and the other defendants committed widespread fraud."

STORYLINE:
The judge in Donald Trump’s civil fraud trial has fined the former president $10,000. The judge says Trump violated a limited gag order barring personal attacks on court staffers.

The fine was issued Wednesday after Trump complained outside court about what he called “a person who’s very partisan sitting alongside” the judge in the case, Arthur Engoron.

Weeks ago, Engoron ordered all participants in the case not to comment publicly about his staff. The Oct. 3. gag order came after Trump made a social media post maligned the judge’s principal law clerk, who sits beside him in court.

Trump said his comment Wednesday was about witness Michael Cohen, not the clerk. Engoron said Trump’s claim was “not credible."

New York State Attorney General Letitia James said that there is sufficient evidence to prove that the Trump Organization and the other defendants committed widespread fraud in the case.

James spoke briefly outside court before leaving for the day.
