"Trump's Defiance: Closing Arguments in Civil Fraud Trial"
In a New York civil fraud trial, Donald Trump defied a judge's order and delivered a six-minute speech in court, claiming innocence and accusing officials of targeting him. The judge cut him off, and the trial is expected to conclude with a verdict by Jan. 31. The trial involves allegations of Trump exaggerating his wealth on financial statements, and the New York Attorney General seeks $370 million in penalties and to bar Trump from doing business in New York. The trial took a tumultuous turn as Trump's in-court remarks clashed with the judge's rules, and it occurred amidst a bomb threat at the judge's house.
