Trump rambled so much in a NY fraud case deposition that a lawyer griped, 'we're going to be here until midnight'
- Trump gave long-winded answers while being deposed in NY AG Letitia James' financial-fraud lawsuit.
- He went on and on about his "beautiful" and "tremendous" golf courses, a new transcript shows.
- "We're going to be here until midnight," one of the AG's lawyers worried out loud.
The first time Donald Trump was deposed by New York Attorney General Letitia James – who's spent more than two years calling him an inveterate fraudster – the former president pleaded the Fifth repeatedly.
But in a second deposition held this past April, the AG's office couldn't get him to shut up, including about the "beautiful" marble bathrooms in his "tremendous" properties, a newly-released transcript shows.
In a seven-hour grilling that's a prelude to Trump's October 2, $250 million civil fraud trial, his answers were so long-winded, that one of James' lawyers worried aloud that if he didn't speed it up, everyone in the room would "be here until midnight."
Trump's deposition transcript was released late Wednesday by the attorney general's office, which alleges that the former president, his two eldest sons, and two of his former top executives routinely inflated his net worth in financial fillings made on behalf of the Trump Organization, his international real-estate and golf-resort company.
