Judge Rules Trump Cannot Deliver Closing Argument in New York Civil Fraud Trial

Former President Donald Trump will not be allowed to deliver his own closing argument in his civil fraud trial in New York, as the judge overseeing the case ruled that he must adhere to certain restrictions, which Trump's team did not agree to. The judge's decision comes after negotiations between Engoron and Trump's attorneys, with the judge emphasizing that whether Trump would be allowed to speak was "completely at my discretion" under New York state law. The trial, marked by courtroom confrontations, could result in significant consequences for the Trump Organization in New York.
