“A witch hunt by a radical lunatic”: Trump complains civil fraud trial distracts from his campaign

Former U.S. president Donald Trump appeared in a New York court on Tuesday, for the third week of a civil fraud trial which is centered on allegations that he inflated his net worth to secure more favorable loan terms.

“This is a witch hunt by a radical lunatic,” Trump said, complaining that it is distracting from his campaign. “ I should be in Iowa now. I should be in New Hampshire now. I should be in South Carolina now or someplace else, campaigning.”

The former U.S. president and front-runner for the Republican nomination also took the occasion to criticize a limited gag order imposed by a Washington judge in a separate criminal trial related to his attempts to overturn his 2020 election defeat.

Trump's legal troubles have resulted in a surge in money from small donors, helping him roughly match the fundraising pace of President Joe Biden, who is seeking re-election, according to disclosures released on Sunday.
