President Trump abruptly left the Manhattan courtroom on Wednesday afternoon after Michael Cohen testified in court that he was not instructed by the President or Trump Organization CFO Allen Weisselberg to inflate his assets.
The trial is being held as a result of New York Attorney General Letitia James’s investigation into allegations of fraud against Trump and his organization, including claims of asset inflation and defrauding lenders and insurance companies.
On Tuesday, Cohen admitted in court that Trump had inflated his assets. He continued his testimony on Wednesday where he confirmed that the President had not given any instructions regarding asset inflation.
“So Mr. Trump never asked you to inflate the numbers on his financial statement,” Trump attorney Cliff Robert asked Michael Cohen, according to CNN.
“Correct,” Michael Cohen said.
Trump’s lawyer Cliff Robert immediately asked the judge to dismiss the trial because Cohen, the key witness, just told the court that Trump never instructed him to inflate his assets.
Judge Engoron denied the motion to dismiss and it was at this point that Trump got up and abruptly walked out of the courtroom.
“The witness just admitted that we won the trial and the judge should end this trial immediately,” Trump said after he stormed out of the courtroom.

Michael Cohen trashed Trump after court was adjourned for the day.
According to CNN, Cohen ‘clarified’ his response to questions from Letitia James’ office that Trump didn’t direct him to inflate his assets, but it was implied.
“He speaks like a mob boss,” Michael Cohen insisted.
“They wanted to make a motion to dismiss the case, to which the judge responded: ‘Yeah, absolutely not,’” Cohen said. “You know why? Because he will ultimately be held accountable.”
“And as I said the other day, that’s what this is all about. It’s accountability.”

Cohen is a convicted liar and has been to prison for it. He admitted Trump did nothing wrong. He is the only true witness the prosecution has, yet the judge refuses to throw out the case. This judge obviously has an agenda against Trump and will not stop till he locks him up. This in itself is illegal. This judge needs to be removed from this case because of personal feelings which make it impossible for him to be a fair judge.
Especially since there is no jury to decide if Trump is guilty or innocent. The judge is the one to decide.
So once again trump proved he was innocent of the made up lies of the far left Communist democrat partyl. It’s all about stopping Trump and fixing the up coming elections for a democrat win. When is enough, enough of the democrat corruption to steal elections . That’s the right question to ask, but no one does. We got corrupt judges holding cases on Trump and the democrat Communist government working against trump. It’s not just about Trump tho. If they get away with it again in the up coming election. Then no one is safe and there will never be any fair elections again. Are yall so lost that you can’t see the light at end of the tunnel ??? God help us if yall don’t wake up befor its to late. Stop the lies and fix the country. Or we all fall.
What Evil exists in the minds of men, ONLY the Shadow knows! There are more than just the TWO Evil men in this debacle of former President Trump being targeted like some Al Capone.
Cohen is absolutely correct in that there will be ‘accountability,’ as in, “Vengeance Is Mine Sayeth The Lord!”
