In the end, former President\u00a0Donald Trump\u00a0spoke to the court from the defense table in his civil fraud trial.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trump’s remarks came during closing arguments, which remain ongoing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe facts are the financial statements are perfect, that there are no witnesses against us. The banks got all their money paid back. There were great loans,\u201d Trump maintained, echoing remarks he has previously made in public.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trump spoke for approximately five minutes before accusing Judge\u00a0Arthur Engoron\u00a0of having his own agenda.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI certainly understand that,\u201d the GOP front-runner persisted. \u201cYou can’t listen for more than one minute.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At that point, Engoron told one of Trump’s lawyers to \u201ccontrol your client.\u201d The judge eventually cut Trump off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Engoron ruled on Wednesday that he wouldn’t allow Trump to speak during his attorneys’ closing arguments because he wouldn’t agree to avoid personal attacks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

NBC News further reports<\/a> on the unprecedented courtroom display:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

Speaking from the table sitting next to his lawyers, Trump spoke to denying all wrongdoing while Engoron quietly listened.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trump maintained that banks \u201cgot all their money back\u201d and \u201cthey weren’t defrauded\u201d while repeating his call to receive damages \u201cfor what we’ve gone through.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The former president accused James’ office of not providing one document proving her allegations of inflating his financial statements and argued that the case presents a \u201csituation where I\u201dm an innocent man.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe legal scholars looking at this case find it disgraceful,\u201d he said, adding \u201cthis is a fraud on me.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

James is asking Engoron to fine Trump and his co-defendants over $370 million and impose a lifetime ban on Trump and two former company executives from the New York real estate industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
