The judge overseeing former President Donald Trump’s New York civil fraud trial on Monday rejected his motion to toss the case for “at least” the fifth time.
"At least five times during the recently concluded ten-and-a-half-week trial of this matter, defendants moved for a directed verdict," New York Judge Arthur Engoron wrote in a three-page ruling. "The first such time was at the close of plaintiff's case, which is when defendants normally move for such relief. This court took that motion, and most of the others, under advisement. It denied two of them on the spot."
