‘Visit Anytime!’ Trump Fraud-Trial Judge Gets Odd Invite to Mar-a-Lago

• Trump’s NY civil fraud trial is in its tenth week.
• Tuesday, a Palm Beach real estate broker testified on Trump’s behalf that Mar-a-Lago is worth $1 billion.
• The AG can “come and visit any time,” he said, adding of Trump,  “I’ll make sure he’s not there.” 

No word yet on whether they should bring bathing suits.

The New York attorney general and the judge in Donald Trump’s New York fraud trial have a standing invitation to visit Mar-a-Lago “any time,” a defense witness for Trump testified on Tuesday.

Only in person could they feel the full effect of Mar-a-Lago’s “breathtaking,” billion-dollar beauty — and see for themselves that the 17-acre resort was not overvalued by Trump, testified the witness, a Palm Beach real estate broker.

Neither the judge in the non-jury trial nor New York Attorney General Letitia James has accepted the offer, which one of Trump’s lawyers conceded in court Tuesday was “inappropriate.”

Still.

“If it gets any colder outside,” the judge, state Supreme Court Justice Arthur Engoron, joked from the bench of his courtroom in chilly Manhattan, “I’ll take him up on it.”

A Palm Beach broker-to-the-stars

The somewhat madcap exchange came during testimony by the tenth expert defense witness at the trial, Lawrence Moens, a celebrity broker who has sold property for Steve Wynn, Larry Ellison, and Trump himself.

“You have a beach club, you have a main residence, you have a ballroom – it’s quite amazing,” Moens told the judge of Mar-a-Lago.

“I invited the attorney general’s office to come and visit,” he said. The broker and lawyers for the AG had met in July, during a pre-trial deposition.

“I’ll make sure he’s not there when you come,” the broker added, turning to face the table where James’ lawyers sit, and making an apparent reference to Trump.

Moens had high praise for the former president and leading GOP candidate. He likened Trump to such visionary “dreamers” as “John Fitzgerald Kennedy,” Thomas Jefferson, and “Martin Luther King.”

“If you have a dreamer, and a great American, I don’t think that’s a bad thing,” the broker testified of his Palm Beach neighbor.

A quick call from “Dad,” 91

A brief interruption arose early on in Moens’ two hours of testimony, when his cellphone rang just as he was telling the judge about himself.

“I’m on the front lines every day in selling properties,” Moens was saying at the time, describing how his sales exceed a billion dollars a year. “And I have a pretty good handle on what’s going on currently in the market,” he added.

The ring tone featured the sound of an old-fashioned desk phone, and briefly jolted the trial to a halt.

“That’s a first,” the judge said, with a look of surprise that only grew when Moens pulled out the phone and, instead of shutting it off, actually took the call.

“Sorry, dad,” Moens said into his phone, as quiet laughter broke out in the courtroom. “I love you. I…
