Trump's Legal Team's Desperate Attempts and Clueless Moments in Fraud Trial

Donald Trump's defense lawyers in his bank fraud trial have repeatedly made preposterous legal maneuvers, including requesting a "directed verdict" three times, a longshot request that almost never works. Legal experts and former judges are baffled by these tactics, with one retired judge stating that she couldn't remember granting such a request in her 35 years on the bench. Trump's lawyers have also made snide remarks about the judge and launched personal attacks against a law clerk, leading to a gag order being imposed. The trial, brought by the New York Attorney General, is nearing its end, and Trump's legal team's repeated attempts to have the case dismissed have left scholars and observers perplexed.
