A civil fraud trial against Trump and his business by the state of New York is one of many cases against the former president.

On Monday, Trump took the witness stand to answer questions about the case, which came in front of a full capacity courtroom and as anti-Trump protestors were gathered outside the courtroom Monday morning, according to NBC News.

Trump entered the courtroom shortly after 10 a.m. ET Monday and took the witness stand.

In his early testimony about the appointment of trustees, Trump lashed out at the attorney general and prosecutors.

"You and every Democrat … coming after me from 15 different sides… all haters," Trump said of the New York attorney general and other U.S. attorneys.

When asked about financial statements, Trump said the bankers "paid little attention" to the documents.

"They were more interested in the deal."
