Trump berates NY civil fraud trial judge at closing arguments • FRANCE 24 English
Trump did end up speaking in court on the final day of his civil fraud trial calling the proceedings here a fraud on me he spoke after the judge barred him from giving a formal closing argument because he refused to follow the rules and refrain from turning a court address
Into a campaign speech now Trump said during this brief address that he was an innocent man and was being persecuted and he called the trial a political Witch Hunt Trump’s tyde went on for about 6 minutes before the judge cut him off that was really the crescendo of
Trump’s defense in closing arguments his lawyers said that there was really no case against Trump and that Trump did nothing wrong the New York attorney general’s Council Kevin Wallace made a Watergate reference as he began his closing argument uh what this trial is about he said is what did the defendants
Know and when and then he underscored the argument that he’s made all along in this trial that the fraud committed by the defendants was intentional now judge engoron has already ruled that Trump committed fraud that he’s liable for fraud uh F fiddling bank statements and inflating his Worth to get favorable
Loans and insurance policies now we wait for the verdict uh Trump could be barred from the New York real estate business and face a fine of up to $370 million now Trump also spoke on Thursday at 40 Wall Street he addressed reporters there and he said uh that he would attend the
Egene Carol defamation trial uh in person that set to start next week well you might think that all of this would Dent Trump’s popularity but actually his campaign has embraced his legal woes as part of their strategy and that appears to have worked with many of his supporters
Donald Trump ignored warnings from the judge in his New York civil fraud trial Thursday and turned closing arguments into an election campaign attack, claiming that prosecutors are out to stop his political comeback.

No, he lied and attacked the judge.
What a truly horrible person. It’s horrifying that he could well be president again.
What fraud?!? Everyone made money
He's already been found guilty. This is just the monetary judgment to be decided.
Less than a year since his last $1.6m judgment for fraud in NY. 😂
Hahahahahaha, forget this creature.
No photos, only sketches 😂
Free Joe Biden's political prisoners! This is not a civil fraud trial it is a socialist attack on the Constitution, and election fraud. You can tell from the no jury being present, which would tell us that this is unconstitutional.
