Here in New York, the judge overseeing Donald Trump’s civil fraud trial has rejected Trump’s request to have the case against him thrown out. On Monday, Judge Arthur Engoron blasted an expert witness called by the defense, noting that New York University accounting professor Eli Bartov spent 650 hours on the case at a rate of $1,350 per hour. Engoron ruled that Bartov had lost all credibility, writing, “All that his testimony proves is that for a million or so dollars, some experts will say whatever you want them to say.”
