The former president clashes with the judge in the New York trial that threatens his real estate empire.

Trump is now being asked whether the valuations of a number of his properties are accurate.

Instead of answering yes or no, Trump is giving speeches about how and why he invested in various properties.

Again the judge asks Trump’s legal team to stop the speeches.

“I beseech you to control him if you can. If you can’t, I will,” Judge Engoron says.

    Is this not perjury?

    I was <blank> then.
    No you weren’t.
    No I wasn’t.

    Are you allowed to blatantly lie and just walk it back when called out?

      NAL but I think if Trump had argued he was still the President during that time period instead of admitting he wasn’t, then it would have been perjury.
