Donald Trump testifies at Chicago trial

<p> FILE - This March 15, 2013 file photo, Donald Trump speaks at the 40th annual Conservative Political Action Conference in National Harbor, Md. On Tuesday, May 14, 2013, Trump is expected to testify at federal court in Chicago where several of his companies have been named in a lawsuit filed by an 87-year-old investor who says she was lured into buying condos at his namesake Chicago skyscraper with promises of a profit-sharing deal that was later quietly withdrawn.
