In a recent update on the civil fraud trial against Donald Trump, the timing for the verdict has been extended to mid-February, according to a court spokesperson. Judge Arthur Angoran, who is still deliberating, is considering the attorney general's argument that Trump and his company should pay $370 million for fraudulent claims.
Initially, Judge Angoran had indicated that a verdict would likely be reached by January 31st. However, the process of drafting a written opinion has proven to be time-consuming. The trial, which took place over several months in the fall and into December, concluded about three weeks ago. At that time, the judge expressed his hope to reach a decision on the damages faced by the Trump organization by the end of January. Yet, it is clear that this deadline has not been met, with the court spokesperson suggesting the verdict may come in a couple of weeks, in mid-February.
