"Judge Denies Trump's Request to Deliver Closing Argument in NY Fraud Trial"

Former President Donald Trump's bid to deliver a closing argument in his New York fraud trial has been thwarted by Judge Arthur Engoron, who rescinded his decision to allow Trump to defend himself after his lawyers wouldn't agree to restrict his defense to "relevant" and "material" matters. The trial, which has been marked by Trump's attacks on those involved, is wrapping up this week, with the New York Attorney General seeking a $370 million fine and a lifetime ban on conducting business in New York for Trump and two of his associates.
