In a recent episode of his late-night show, Jimmy Kimmel brought to light a peculiar habit of former President Donald Trump, one that seemingly follows him even under the most serious of circumstances, such as his ongoing civil fraud trial in New York.
Kimmel, known for his sharp wit and incisive commentary, pointed out that Trump, despite facing trial for allegedly inflating the value of his assets, couldn't resist his tendency to exaggerate.
The former president, known for his flamboyant and often controversial statements, reportedly overstated the value of his Mar-a-Lago property during his testimony.
However, it was another moment during the trial that caught Kimmel's attention and elicited a response from his audience.
According to Kimmel, when Trump was questioned about his involvement in preparing a financial statement in 2021, he claimed he was too preoccupied in the White House, safeguarding the country from threats like China and Russia.
This statement led to a somewhat awkward correction from the lawyer, who reminded the former president that he was not in office in 2021 and did not reside in the White House during that period.
