Donald Trump has taken to the stand in the New York Supreme Court as he provides his defence in his $250m (£202) fraud trial.

The former US president clashed several times with Judge Engoron during the morning' s proceedings.

Mr Trump along with his two adult sons and the wider Trump Organization - is accused of massively inflating the value of his business properties to secure favourable loans, amongst other claims.

If he loses the trial, he could face a hefty fine, a ban on doing business in his home state, and losing control of some properties.
