Trump's Civil Fraud Trial: Verdict Awaited as Testimony Concludes
Both sides have rested their case in Donald Trump's civil fraud trial, and closing arguments are set to take place in January. The trial is expected to conclude with a written opinion from Judge Arthur Engoron in late January or early February. The delay in the trial was due to the volume of evidence presented, and the use of written briefs will help maintain a stronger record for a possible appeal. The New York Attorney General argues that Trump committed years of financial fraud, while Trump's lawyers maintain that there were no victims and no evidence of accounting fraud. The outcome of the trial will determine the penalties Trump may face.
