New York Attorney General Letitia James said Monday that "justice will prevail" in a civil fraud trial set to kick off later in the morning against former US president Donald Trump and two of his sons.
"The law is both powerful and fragile. And today in court we will prove our case," James told reporters, adding that "no matter how powerful you are, no matter how much money you think you may have, no one is above the law."
On the other hand, Donald Trump said his civil fraud trial starting in New York Monday is a "sham" and called the state attorney general who brought the case a "horror show."
Also calling the trial a "scam," Trump told reporters outside the courthouse that the judge in charge was a "rogue judge."
