Judge Bars Trump from Delivering Closing Argument in NY Fraud Trial
TL;DR Summary
A New York judge has ruled that former President Donald Trump cannot personally deliver a closing argument in his civil fraud trial, as his attorneys did not agree to conditions preventing him from delivering a "campaign speech." The trial, brought by New York’s attorney general, accuses Trump of inflating his net worth to secure better loan terms. Trump's lawyers did not agree to the judge's terms, and the trial is set to focus on determining how much Trump should pay. Trump faces multiple legal challenges as he campaigns for the 2024 election, including potential criminal trials in Washington, Georgia, Florida, and New York.
