All eyes were on Donald Trump yet again this week, as he finally took the stand in his New York civil fraud trial. 

The former president's appearance on the witness stand in a Manhattan court on Tuesday followed testimonies from three of his children at the ongoing trial against the family and their namesake Trump Organization. The Republican front-runner for the 2024 nomination approached giving evidence under oath "just as he had his real estate business and political career", said the BBC, "ignoring the rules and technicalities" and "blustering and bragging" – spurring the judge to warn that "this is not a political rally".
