none of them could overestimate the size of the manhattan apartments by three times. no juror with a studio apartment things they live in a three-bedroom apartment. those facts used against trump on the witness stand would be devastating but the da would present more in cross-examining trump and attacking his credibility. quote, defendant testified untruthfully under oath when he claimed the comments about his law clerk was instead about a witness. the court held as a prior fact, i find trump's testimony rings hollow and untrue. intentionally violating court orders by making public attacks on a judges law clerk despite two prior court orders not to do so. defendant committed repeated and persistent fraud in the transaction by fraudulently misstating the value of his assets. all of that is just from the one case the ag took against trump and the da intends to use both of the eiji carol cases against trump if he takes the stand. if he testifies in the case the da will refer to the eiji carol cases in cross-examination. the jury awarded eiji carol 83,800,000 for damages
