Trump's Failed Courtroom Tactics and Credibility Crisis Exposed by NY Judge

The New York Attorney General's office criticizes Donald Trump and his defense lawyers for repeatedly requesting a "directed verdict" in his bank fraud trial, a legal maneuver that declares outright victory and immediately ends the case. The requests, which are rarely granted, have been deemed as desperate and political stunts. The evidence presented during the trial has only strengthened the case against Trump, who is accused of lying on financial statements to obtain loans and insurance policies. The judge has consistently denied these requests and is expected to do so again. The trial will resume in January, and the judge will determine the punishment for Trump and his co-defendants.
