Judge Engoron told Chris Kise in court: “Mr. Kise – can you control your client? This is not a political rally”

Information reaching Kossyderrickent has it that Judge Engoron told Chris Kise in court: “Mr. Kise – can you control your client? This is not a political rally”.

“But I’m probably not, because I’m sure the judge will rule against me, because he always rules against me.”

“Mr Kise, was that comment necessary part of the narrative in answering the question,” Engoron said to Trump attorney Chris Kise, who had asked for his client to have some latitude in answering questions.

“Mr Trump, please just answer the question. You can attack me, you can do whatever you want, but answer the question,” Engoron said.

As questioning progressed, Trump grew increasingly incensed by Kise’s questions about his real estate being over-valued.

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. 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.

“Your case was that I had no money,” Trump said. “You sued me on the basis that Trump had no money and he wrote up phony things and he defrauded banks…”

“And even though these banks were paid back in full, there was no harm, no anything, everybody got their money in full, there was no victim,” Trump also said.

“The banks don’t even know what they’re doing in this case.”

“Mr Kise, can you control your client?” Engoron interjected. “This is not a political rally. This is a courtroom .”

“I’ve asked several times. I’ve asked the witness several times to answer the question,” the judge also said. “I don’t want editorializing. We’ll be here forever and accomplish nothing.”
