Former President Donald Trump will come face to face with New York Attorney General Letitia James again Tuesday, when he's expected back in a Manhattan courtroom for the second day of his trial on civil charges alleging he and his company falsified business and personal records for financial gain.
Judge Arthur Engoron has already ruled against Trump and the other co-defendants on one of the charges, finding before the trial that they engaged in business fraud. The trial is focused on the remaining charges in the suit, related to alleged falsification of business records, issuing false financial statements and conspiracy.
Trump, the Trump Organization, several executives and two of his children — Donald Jr. and Eric — are the defendants in the civil trial in New York Superior Court. They will not face any jail time if found liable, since the charges are civil in nature, not criminal.
