How To Watch Donald Trump Fraud Trial: Livestream Options, Time, Channels

Former president Donald Trump‘s fraud trial has commenced. According to NBC News, the former POTUS is facing a $250 million fraud lawsuit, which will be overseen by Judge Arthur Engoron. A 35-page ruling fleshed out the details of Trump’s alleged repeated acts of fraud, which Engoron summed up with the following: “That is a fantasy world, not the real world.”

CNN reported that three months have been set aside for the trial, but due to Ergeron already finding Trump liable for fraud, no exact timeline has been set in stone.

While Trump reportedly has “no speaking role” in today’s portion of the trial, various sources told ABC News that he was expected to attend. The current Republican presidential candidate has reportedly expressed that he is eager to testify.

Potential witnesses include Trump’s daughter Ivanka Trump, Trump’s former personal attorney Michael Cohen and various other previous and current Trump Organization employees, per CNN.
