Trump can’t speak during closing arguments in NY civil fraud trial, judge says
Engoron stated in a letter to Trump's counsel and New York Attorney General Letitia James shortly after noon Wednesday that Trump had not agreed to the requirements he set for the former president to make a statement.
"Not having heard from you by the third extended deadline (noon today), I assume that Mr. Trump will not agree to the reasonable, lawful limits I have imposed as a precondition to giving a closing statement above and beyond those given by his attorneys, and that, therefore, he will not be speaking in court tomorrow," Engoron wrote in an email.
Trump and his staff have used his court hearings to accuse Joe Biden of election tampering, depict his legal difficulties as political persecution, and divert media attention away from his Republican competitors, who have struggled to close the gap on his substantial lead in the polls.

Trump is not facing criminal charges in the civil fraud case, but the claims against him are personal, as the New York attorney general seeks $370 million in damages and prohibits Trump from conducting business in the state.
The New York attorney general claims that Trump, his two adult sons, and his corporation cheated banks and insurance companies by misrepresenting the worth of the former president's assets in order to secure better interest rates. Engoron
