Donald Trump Actually Plans To Give Closing Argument At Fraud Trial

Judge: Trump can't speak during closing arguments in $370 million civil fraud trial​

So, Trump didn't agree to the conditions the judge set forth.

Because he wants to riff. It's a court of law. Not a pep rally. And besides, the judge and his lawyer are going to do their best to save Trump from himself.

Judge Arthur Engoron said Wednesday he does not expect Donald Trump to speak during closing arguments in the $370 million New York civil fraud trial against Trump.

In a letter to attorneys for Trump and New York Attorney General Letitia James just after noon Wednesday, Engoron said that Trump hasn’t agreed to conditions he set should the former president wish to give a statement.

“Not having heard from you by the third extended deadline (noon today), I assume that Mr. Trump will not agree to the reasonable, lawful limits I have imposed as a precondition to giving a closing statement above and beyond those given by his attorneys, and that, therefore, he will not be speaking in court tomorrow,” Engoron wrote.


Email correspondence shows the parties have been discussing the possibility of Trump participating in the closing arguments since at least last week.

So, Trump didn't agree to the judges' conditions for speaking tomorrow in his closing arguments - so the judge cancelled him speaking. Trump had until Noon today to agree to the terms. Good for the judge!

Trump will use this as another fundraising grievance - even though it is entirely his fault. Still playing the victim...

The former president isn't a lawyer but that's not stopping his aim to deliver his own closing argument, sources say.

Former President Donald Trump aims to deliver his own closing argument Thursday in his New York civil business fraud trial in addition to his legal team’s summations, according to two people familiar with the highly unusual plan.

Trump is a defendant in the case brought by New York Attorney General Letitia James. She claims his net worth was inflated by billions of dollars on financial statements that helped him secure business loans and insurance.

An attorney for Trump informed Judge Arthur Engoron earlier this week that the former president wished to speak during the closing arguments, and the judge approved the plan, according to one of the two people who spoke to The Associated Press. Both persons who confirmed the plan did so on condition of anonymity because they weren’t authorized to disclose the information to reporters.

The Trump campaign and a spokesperson for James declined to comment.

Donald Trump won’t make his own closing argument in his New York civil business fraud trial after his lawyers objected to the judge’s insistence that the former president would stick to “relevant” matters.

Judge Arthur Engoron rescinded permission on Wednesday, a day ahead of closing arguments in the trial.

Your lawbreaking judges will be eembarrassed when all their Gestapo rulings are overturned by SCOTUS.

This is a civil trial. All that's being assessed here are damages. The judge has already found Trump and his family guilty of fraud. Nothing for SCOTUS to rule on here. That bench is not Trump's personal Get Out of Jail Free Card (yes, I know he isn't facing any jail time here). He can of course appeal and sometimes the damages in these cases are reduced..but they are rarely overturned.

Both persons were breaking the law and violating Trump's civil rights, but you have no problem with that?

My hope is that a gigantic RICO case will be brought against the "Democratic" Party and its political assassins.

What a strange post.

They did not break the law. What law?

Second: has nothing to do with democrats

If any of those jurors have kids displaced from school by Biden’s invited migrants or family victimized by illegal alien crime he may find a receptive audience indeed.

Or if they are feeling inflation or had to step over homeless on the way to court or are using credit cards to pay bills, etc. Trump would be sounding pretty good.

No jurors. It's a bench trial

 

[BS Filter]

Trump called the judge's bluff and gave the closing argument. It's all a sham. Trump isn't scared of these fucking commies and neither should any of us be respectful of them. They're bullies.
