"Judge Clashes with Trump's Lawyers in New York Fraud Trial"

The judge in Donald Trump's New York fraud trial, Justice Arthur Engoron, is expressing frustration with Trump's legal team over the potential negotiation of a guilty plea by Trump's longtime finance chief, Allen Weisselberg, for lying under oath. The judge's tone may not bode well for Trump, as he has the power to determine the fate of Trump's business empire following a civil fraud lawsuit. The judge wants to know if Weisselberg misrepresented important facts and is taking his obligation to find the facts and determine the truth seriously. Weisselberg is reportedly negotiating a deal with the Manhattan District Attorney’s office to plead guilty to a perjury charge, but not expected to cooperate against Trump.
