re: FED Judge Installed to Monitor & Check TRUMPs' Finances in Civil FRAUD Case
TRUMP and New York Judge That Had BOMB Threat, Had Contentious Exchange in Court
TRUMP Ignored Warnings From NY Fraud Trial Judge & Berates Him at Closing Arguments. Engoron Attempted to Interrupt TRUMP With a Warning W.O. Success
Daily Mail 12 JAN 2024
TRUMP ignored warnings from the judge in his New York civil fraud trial Thursday and turned closing arguments into an election campaign attack, claiming that prosecutors are out to stop his political comeback.
Prosecutors are demanding $370 million from TRUMP over fraud allegations -- and to bar him from conducting business in the state where he made his name as a celebrity real estate tycoon.
TRUMP had sought to deliver full closing arguments himself, but permission was denied when he failed to sign off on restrictions aimed at stopping him from using the courtroom as an electioneering platform.
Judge Arthur Engoron then allowed TRUMP to make brief additional comments after his lawyer had spoken -- again insisting that the Republican presidential candidate and former president respect courtroom rules.
Trump almost immediately launched into a bitter attack on the New York state attorney general, saying, "They want to make sure I never win again. The (attorney general) hates Trump... and if I can't talk about that it's a disservice."
Engoron attempted to interrupt Trump with a warning to wrap up his statement and Trump responded: "You have your own agenda, you can't listen for more than one minute.
Engoron told Trump's lawyer to "control your client."
This trial is one of multiple criminal and civil cases Trump faces as he seeks to return to the White House, ranging from a rape allegation to conspiring to overturn the 2020 election result.
He is accused of fraudulently inflating or deflating the value of his properties in order to obtain favorable bank loans or insurance terms.
"The myriad deceptive schemes they employed to inflate asset values and conceal facts were so outrageous that they belie innocent explanation," New York Attorney General Letitia James's office said in a filing.
If found liable, the amount to be paid by Trump and his companies will be revealed in the judge's final order, for which no date has been confirmed.
As the case is civil rather than criminal, there is no threat of jail time.
TRUMP Has a NEW Principal Occupation - He is Now a Defendant....
