"Judge Engoron Takes Center Stage as Trump Fraud Trial Concludes"

Donald Trump's civil fraud trial has concluded, with Judge Arthur Engoron set to deliver his final ruling by Jan. 31. The judge indicated that there is "no guarantee" of a specific outcome. During closing arguments, the attorney general's lawyer argued that Trump deliberately defrauded lenders, while the judge suggested that there was "not much evidence" that Trump's sons knew of the fraud. Trump's lawyer objected to a comment made by the attorney general's attorney, and Trump himself claimed to be politically targeted. The attorney general is seeking a $370 million penalty and a lifetime ban from New York's real estate industry for Trump. The trial has drawn protests and heightened security measures after a swatting incident targeted the judge's home.
