Former President Donald Trump is a defendant in a New York civil business fraud trial brought by New York Attorney General Letitia James.

Donald Trump won’t make his own closing argument in his New York civil business fraud trial after his lawyers objected to the judge’s insistence that the former president would stick to “relevant” matters.

    The headline is incorrect. The Judge said that der Gropenfurher would have to agree to follow the law and he refused to even respond after three extensions.

    Nothing was rescinded.

      They asked for 3 extensions and were granted them. They asked for a 4th and it was denied. Now Trump’s claiming that it’s so totally unfair.

      He’s like a spoiled toddler. If anything isn’t 100% of what he wants in that moment, he’ll cry about how unfair everyone is acting towards him. If only we could put him down for timeout and a nap like we might with a toddler. Perhaps he needs a diaper change? (Not it!)

      Was going to say… There’s no way the judge could be so stupid as to give him a position that can cause a mistrial. That is the most obvious setup ever.
