New York Civil Fraud Trial: Closing Arguments and Trump's Defense

In the New York civil fraud trial, closing arguments were presented as New York AG Leticia James seeks $370 million in damages and a ban on Trump and his two sons doing real estate in New York. While Judge Arthur Engeron controversially ruled that Trump committed fraud, the focus now is on determining damages and the potential ban. Trump made his own closing arguments in court, asserting that his financial statements are impeccable, there were no witness against him, and the banks were fully paid back. Trump's lawyer argued the discrediting of the state's star witness, Michael Cohen, as a disbarred lawyer who admitted to lying under oath several times. The absence of victims and the nature of James's demands have led to accusations of political targeting.
