Donald Trump's estranged niece Mary Trump has responded gleefully to the
ex-president's testimony in his civil fraud trial, saying she was feeling
"giddy" because she thought his testimony had not gone well for him.

"It was one of the most stunning things," she said of Monday's court hearing
when Trump gave evidence in a lawsuit filed by New York Attorney General Letitia
James alleging that Trump and top executives at The Trump Organization,
including his two eldest sons, conspired to increase his net worth by billions
of dollars on financial statements provided to banks and insurers.



Speaking to attorney Joe Gallina on her Substack blog, she said she and Gallina
were "going to try and manage our extreme euphoria."

Mary Trump's written introduction to the interview on Substack said: "NO
HYPERBOLE: Today was the WORST day in Donald Trump's life."



Judge Arthur Engoron issued a partial summary in the civil fraud trial in
September, ruling that Trump committed fraud. He ruled that Trump grossly
inflated the value of his assets to obtain more favorable terms from lenders and
insurers.

The trial seeks to determine how much the Trumps will have to pay in damages and
to resolve the other six claims alleged by James. James is seeking $250 million
in damages, as well as the revocation of Trump's business licenses.

During his testimony, in which he was questioned about the value of his assets,
Trump, frontrunner for the 2024 GOP presidential nomination, repeated his
assertion that he did nothing wrong and that the trial was "unfair" and
politically motivated.

He claimed the trial was a "witch hunt", causing the judge to tell his lawyers
to "control him".



Reacting, his estranged niece who has consistently criticized the former
president, called the evidence "stunning".

She told Gallina: "This is fabulous," adding she could not wait for the verdict.

Addressing Trump, she said: "Donald, I know you are going to be going through a
lot and you may well not have any homes any more so I just wanted to let you
know my couch is incredibly comfortable and you are not welcome here."

"This is a huge milestone," she added. "Americans deserve to be happy about it".



Speaking specifically about his temperament in the trial, Mary Trump said: "He
once again got away with being this obnoxious, entitled, temper tantrum, insult
throwing brat and the judge did nothing."



She added that he treated the judge and attorneys for the state with "unsparing
and jaw-dropping contempt."

She said she was "fairly surprised that he has lost any ability to rein himself
in when his extraordinary fragile ego feels threatened."

During his testimony, Trump distanced himself from financial documents at the
center of the case and said bankers who The Trump Organization sought loans from
"paid little attention" to them.



At one point, an attorney showed Trump a term agreement made to Deutsche Bank
for him to verify his signature before asking if the statement about the values
of Trump Organization businesses and the properties were made "in order to
induce lending."

Trump answered in the affirmative, according to Matt Russell Lee of Inner City
Press in an X, formerly Twitter, post, leading Katie Phang, a lawyer and MSNBC
host, to write on X that it was a "critical admission".

She wrote: "In order to induce lending. A CRITICAL admission by Trump as he
admits that the INTENT in making these financial representations was to convince
lenders to loan money."




The former president's sons, Eric and Donald Jr., gave evidence in the trial
last week and said they did not recall or have knowledge about the financial
statements at the heart of it.

Trump briefly appeared in the dock last month and was fined $10,000 for
breaching a gag order that barred him from personally attacking court staff in
his fraud trial.



On Wednesday, his daughter Ivanka Trump is scheduled to testify.

Newsweek has contacted representatives for Donald Trump via email for comment.
