About this Article

Donald Trump is set to testify Tuesday at a civil trial where the developer-turned-TV personality is accused of enticing investors to buy condos at his namesake skyscraper in Chicago with promises of profit-sharing, and then quietly reneging on those promises. Attorneys for both sides suggested in their opening statements to jurors Monday that a key aspect of the trial will be the management style of Trump, who has gained famed for firing contestants he deems incompetent on his popular TV show, "Celebrity Apprentice."
