Former US President Donald Trump has arrived at a New York court to attend the opening of his civil trial.

Trump, his adult sons and the Trump Organization are accused of perpetrating years of fraud.

The NY attorney general is seeking a fine of $250m (£204m) and a ban on him doing business in his home state.

In brief remarks before entering the courtroom, Trump told reporters: “It’s a scam. It’s a sham. Just so you know, my financial statements are phenomenal.”
