Donald Trump returns to New York court for fraud trial proceedings

Former president planned a return to coincide with Michael Cohen's testimony, which has been delayed until next week

Former president Donald Trump returned to a New York court on Tuesday to watch and deplore the civil fraud trial that threatens to disrupt his real estate businesses, but he got no face-to-face encounter - for now - with the star witness against him.

After attending the trial's first three days earlier this month, Trump initially planned a return to coincide with testimony by Michael Cohen, his one-time attorney turned outspoken foe. But Cohen's testimony was delayed until at least next week, with Cohen citing a health problem.
