Trump says he needs to lose weight after seeing courtroom sketch

"There are only two defence witnesses left in Donald Trump's fraud trial, and the former president is one of them.nn"

This is a negative sentiment.

""Any purported harm to Mr Trump's (and his co-petitioners')"

This is a negative sentiment.

""This is a highly respected man," Mr Trump told reporters outside the courtroom."

This is a positive sentiment.

""nnMr Bartov is among one of the only defence witnesses to explicitly say, in Trump-friendly terms, that the case should be thrown out, echoing some of Mr Trump's own rhetoric, and making it apparent that the former president likely chose to attend his day of testimony in an effort to draw media to the courtroom to hear it.nn"

This is a negative sentiment.

"After a morning break, Mr Trump paused to chat with two courtroom sketch artists seated behind the team of lawyers for New York Attorney General Letitia James, whose fraud lawsuit against the former president, his two oldest sons and their chief business associates launched a trial that is now in its 10th week.nn"

This is a negative sentiment.

"Mr Trump is scheduled to return to the court on Monday, where he will be sworn in to testify a second and final time as his legal team wraps up its defence in a case that threatens his family business and its real estate empire.nn"

This is a negative sentiment.

"Mr Trump's appearance on Thursday also marked his first time in court since a gag order that blocks him from disparaging court staff was upheld by an appeals court, after court filings revealed the scale of death threats and abusive messages sent to Judge Engoron and his chief clerk following Mr Trump's social media attacks.nn"

This is a negative sentiment.

"His attorneys have tried to appeal to the state's highest court, but a judge denied his attempt to fast-track those arguments, effectively ensuring that Mr Trump will remain under the gag order during his testimony on Monday and for any remaining business in the trial next week.nn"

This is a negative sentiment.

"The defence team introduced several expert witnesses over the last several weeks to testify about the Trump Organization's business practices, including testimony to defend how Mr Trump created statements of financial condition provided to banks and lenders, and how the valuations of his properties in those documents were more like an artform, not a science."

This is a negative sentiment.

""nnMr Trump, who was broadly smeared the multiple criminal and civil cases against him as a Democratic conspiracy against him, appeared relatively relaxed and satisfied following Mr Bartov's testimony, after the former president spent weeks dismissing the trial as bogus.nn"

This is a negative sentiment.

"At one point, Mr Bartov - who was paid more than half a million dollars for his testimony - snapped at a lawyer for the attorney general after he suggested that Mr Barkov was being paid to say what Mr Trump's team wanted."

This is a positive sentiment.
