 Former President Donald Trump echoed the bulk of his courtroom speech at a news conference Thursday that served as counter-programming to the state's closing argument, Trump made his remarks at a lower Manhattan office building he owns and could lose control of as a result of the trial. We'll see what happens. I think maybe, uh, may surprise people on the positive side, Trump said at New York Attorney General Letitia James, a Democrat, sued Trump in 2022 under a state law that gives the state attorney general broad power to investigate allegations of persistent fraud in business dealings. She wants the judge to impose $370 million in penalties.I in court earlier in the day, Judge Arthur Angaron barred Trump from giving a formal closing argument, Trump still seized an opportunity to speak in court at the conclusion of his New York civil fraud trial, unleashing a barrage of attacks and a six-minute diatribe before being cut off by the judge. There's no question about Letitia James, the corrupt attorney general of New York. But it's a shame to have to have gone through this for years and years and years. And now we'll see if we're going to get an honest verdict. No, I want to go to all of my trials. These are all again, these are all set up by Biden and the Democrats. This is, they are, this is their new form of cheating. This is like last time, this is their new form of cheating. So far I think it's gone very much against him. He is using the weaponization of the DOJ and the FBI to go after his political opponent. And you just can't do that. Thank you very much. Thank you very much.
