In a dramatic turn of events, former president Donald Trump took the opportunity to address the courtroom during closing arguments in his civil fraud trial. Despite objections from the prosecution, the judge allowed Trump to speak, highlighting the high stakes involved in this case.
During his speech from the defense table, Trump reiterated familiar claims of election interference and political persecution, suggesting a collusion between the case and President Biden. He also defended the concept of presidential immunity, stating that without it, a president would be ineffective and subject to prosecution by the opposing party once they leave office.
