News Alert: Trump can't speak during closing arguments in NY civil fraud trial, judge says Judge Arthur Engoron said Wednesday he does not expect Donald Trump to speak during closing arguments in the New York civil fraud trial. In a letter to attorneys for Trump and the New York attorney general just after noon Wednesday, the judge said that Trump hasn't agreed to conditions he set should the former president wish to give a statement.
