Soon after being Sworn In , he drew laughs by saying New York Attorney General Letitia James - The Prosecutor bringing The Case - might charge him with perjury if He Said " it's good to be here".

And, nodding to his past complaints about The courtroom sketch art, He Said he " already had a talk" with The Artist depicting The Day 's proceedings and joked that he wanted The AI version of Himself - with a strong jawline and Broad Shoulders - to be drawn.

He even made Judge Arthur Engoron laugh when He Said : " I'm, like, The nongolfer of The Family , which has relegated me to The Children 's table in perpetuity. "
