Trump's Gag Order Violations and Testimony Impact Fraud Trial Outcome

A judge denied the Trump team's request for an immediate verdict in the Trump Organization civil trial after ex-attorney Michael Cohen testified that the former president did not ask him to inflate his finances on a personal financial statement. The trial, stemming from New York Attorney General Letitia James' investigation into the Trump Organization, alleges fraud and misrepresentation on financial statements. The judge ruled last month that Trump and the organization committed fraud by overvaluing assets. Trump has denied wrongdoing and criticized Cohen as a "proven liar." The trial will continue, and Trump was fined $10,000 for violating a gag order.
