Trump orders McDonald’s for lunch during civil fraud trial

Former President Donald Trump did not let his civil fraud trial get in the way of his love for the “Golden Arches,” as his security guards were spotted bringing in multiple bags from a McDonald’s fast-food joint.

Footage of two security guards bringing in at least six bags of food to the court was shared online.

SUPREME COURT’S NEW TERM TO ENCOMPASS GUNS, ABORTION, AND FRESH SOCIAL MEDIA CHALLENGES

The former president is known for his love for the Golden Arches. Earlier this year, he visited a McDonald’s restaurant in East Palestine, Ohio, and purchased meals for the local fire department after the village underwent a train derailment.

During a government shutdown fight in 2019, he also bulk-purchased McDonald’s food to celebrate the 2018 NCAA Football Championship Subdivision college football champions, the North Dakota State Bison.

Trump attended the trial in New York after he was found liable last month for inflating his net worth by billions of dollars. Trump was joined in the courtroom by attorneys Alina Habba, Clifford Robert, and Christopher Kise.

The trial will examine six claims in a sweeping lawsuit brought by Democratic New York Attorney General Letitia James, who found Trump and the Trump Organization grossly overstated the value of several of their assets, including Trump’s Mar-a-Lago residence in Florida.

Trump is also facing multiple indictments for various reasons, including storing classified documents at his Mar-a-Lago residence and the events of the Jan. 6 Capitol riot.

James seeks $250 million in damages in the case and aims to prohibit Trump from doing business in New York.

Trump’s attendance at the trial comes as he runs for a second presidential term in the 2024 election cycle.
