Trump to Deliver Personal Closing Argument in New York Fraud Trial

Former US President Donald Trump plans to deliver his own closing argument at his civil trial in New York over allegations of fraud in his business dealings. Trump is a defendant in a lawsuit brought by New York Attorney General Letitia James, who claims Trump inflated his net worth on financial statements. The unusual plan for Trump to personally deliver a closing argument was approved by the judge in the case. It's uncommon for defendants with lawyers to give summations themselves.
