Judge Arthur Engoron, who is known for his left-leaning views, decided to deny President Trump the opportunity to deliver a closing argument in his civil fraud trial in New York City.
This is just one example of how he has unfairly manipulated the trial against the former president.
New York Attorney General Letitia James is seeking $250 million in damages without any clear victim in this fraud case. Additionally, she aims to prohibit Trump and his sons from conducting business in New York.
Trump had originally planned to personally deliver part of his closing statement during the trial, exercising his constitutional right. However, Engoron imposed vague restrictions that made it impossible for Trump’s legal team to agree.

Kise argued that Trump should be given an opportunity to address important matters.
He also requested a postponement of the closing arguments due to the passing of Trump’s mother-in-law, Amalija Knavs, with whom he had a close relationship.
However, Engoron insincerely expressed his condolences and denied the request.
He then proceeded to censor Trump one more time using Orwellian language.
Not having heard from you by the third extended deadline (noon today), I assume that Mr. Trump will not agree to the…
