Trump Refuses to Testify in New York Civil Fraud Trial

Former President Donald Trump has announced that he will not testify as planned in his civil fraud trial, where he is accused of lying about his wealth. Trump stated that he has already testified to everything and has nothing more to say. New York Attorney General Letitia James responded by asserting that they have already proven Trump's financial fraud and unjust enrichment. Trump criticized the attorney general and called the presiding judge biased, while restating false claims about the 2020 elections. The case revolves around allegations that Trump and his sons knowingly committed fraud by inflating the value of their properties and assets. Closing arguments and a final decision are expected next year.
