Video released of petulant Trump in civil fraud trial deposition

Smirking, pouting and defiant ex-president bragged about properties and claimed he prevented nuclear war with North Korea

Months before Donald Trump's defiant turn as a witness at his New York civil fraud trial, the former president came face to face with the state attorney general who is suing him when he sat for a deposition last year at her Manhattan office.

Video made public on Friday of the seven-hour, closed-door session last April shows the Republican presidential frontrunner's demeanor going from calm and cool to indignant - at one point ripping into the lawsuit of the attorney general, Letitia James, against him as a disgrace" and a terrible thing".
