Judges' Home Hit With BOMB Threat After He BARS TRUMP From Giving Closing Argument
TRUMP BARRED From Speaking in His Own Defense in Closing Argument in New York Fraud Trial
The judge in former President Donald Trumps' New York fraud trial has BLOCKED him from speaking in his own defense during closing arguments.
TRUMPS' Previous Offensive THREATS and Behaviour to Judges and Court Staff Has Made Judge Engoron Angry
MailOnline News 11 JAN 2024
TRUMPS' lawyer had informed Judge Arthur Engoron of the plan and the judge initially approved of it
On Wednesday, Engoron rescinded the decision, even though Trump is still expected to appear in court Thursday
Judge Arthur Engoron said he does not expect Donald Trump to speak during closing arguments in the $370 million New York civil fraud trial against Trump.
In a letter to attorneys for Trump and New York Attorney General Letitia James just after noon, Engoron said that Trump hasn’t agreed to conditions he set should the former president wish to give a statement
Kise also asked Engoron to postpone Thursday’s closing arguments until Jan. 29 due to the death of Trump’s mother-in-law.
Engoron refused that request because of security and scheduling concerns, but offered his condolences.
“I won’t debate this yet again. Take it or leave it," the judge shot back, with an all-caps addition: “I WILL NOT GRANT ANY FURTHER EXTENSIONS.”
