Trump's NYC Civil Fraud Trial: Testimony Ends, Verdict Pending

The civil fraud trial against Donald Trump, his adult sons, and top executives has concluded after more than 10 weeks. The New York attorney general's office called 27 witnesses, including Trump and his children, while the defense called 19 witnesses. The judge will receive closing briefs on January 5 and file a written verdict a few weeks later. The trial revealed the extent of the alleged fraud and the defendants' inability to disprove it, according to the attorney general. Trump, who attended nine days of the trial, was not present as the testimony stage concluded. The trial is part of a constellation of legal challenges facing Trump less than a year before the 2024 election.
