The Manhattan judge overseeing the $250 million civil case threatening Donald Trump’s New York real estate empire threatened to throw the former president out of court Monday if he didn’t stop making speeches from the witness stand.
Trump, 77, began his testimony Monday morning in Manhattan Supreme Court, and for the first hour repeatedly gave longwinded answers to what Justice Arthur Engoron called simple “yes or no questions.”
“We got another speech,” Engoron said to Trump’s lawyers at one point.
“I beseech you to control him if you can. If you can’t, I will,” the judge continued.
