'Control your client': Judge Engoron delivers ultimatum to Trump lawyers
Former President Donald Trump almost immediately infuriated the New York City judge overseeing his civil fraud case when he took the witness stand Monday morning, according to reporters in the courtroom.
"Can you control your client," Judge Arthur Engoron barked at attorney Chris Kise. "This is not a political rally."
Kise pulled his client's rank in response, according to CNN reporter Lisa Rubin.
"[Let the] former and future chief executive of the United States [respond]," Kise reportedly said.
POLL: Should Trump be allowed to run for office?
Politico reporter Erica Orden said Trump's answers sparked ire from the judge because they weren't "responsive" to questions from Kevin Wallace, a lawyer from the New York Attorney General's office.
In her $250 million lawsuit, Attorney General Letitia James accuses Trump of fraudulently inflating the worth of the Trump Organization to secure better deals on loans.
Trump denies wrongdoing.
