Breaking down the Trump civil fraud trial

Former President Donald Trump is attending the beginning of the New York state civil fraud trial against his family-owned business.

Trump appeal to delay fraud trial denied

An appeals court in New York has rejected former President Trump's bid to delay his civil fraud trial, scheduled to begin Monday.

A judge ruled Tuesday that Trump and his company "repeatedly" violated state fraud law. CBS News investigative reporter Graham Kates has the latest on the case.
