Alina Habba

Appearing on CNN, former prosecutor Karen Friedman Agnifilo suggested Donald Trump's attempt to present the closing argument in his $370 million financial fraud trial playing out in a Manhattan courtroom on Thursday was unprecedented and a sign that he thinks he can do a better job than his three attorneys handling the case.

Speaking with CNN host John Berman, Friedman Agnifilo pointed out that Judge Artur Engoron was right to put limitations on Trump if he was allowed to speak — which Trump and attorney Christopher Kise refused to agree to -- but Trump's demand spoke volumes about Trump's opinion of Kise and fellow Trump attorneys Alina Habba and Clifford Robert.

Stating that should Trump be allowed to speak on the grounds that "there was a lot less risk that a jury pool could be tainted by inappropriate information that could come out in a summation," the former prosecutor claimed she felt Trump is unhappy with his legal representation.

A New York judge Wednesday rescinded permission for Donald Trump to give a closing argument at his civil fraud trial, reports state.

Judge Arthur Engoron's decision comes a day ahead of closing arguments in the now $ 350-million fraud trial brought by New York Attorney General Letitia James, the Washington Post reports. The former president and Republican front-runner for 2024 denies wrongdoing.

A former Watergate prosecutor watched as President Richard Nixon suggested four of the Supreme Court justices he nominated would remember what he did for them — and repay.

It failed for him — and it will fail for Donald Trump too, he said.

Responding to a blustery announcement from Donald Trump that he will be making an appearance at the U.S. Court of Appeals for a Tuesday hearing on his presidential immunity appeal, one former prosecutor warned the former president that he is on thin ice.

Just after midnight Monday, Trump took to his Truth Social platform to announce, "I will be attending the the (sic) Federal Appeals Court Arguments on Presidential Immunity in Washington, D.C., on Tuesday. Of course I was entitled, as President of the United States and Commander in Chief, to Immunity. I wasn’t campaigning, the Election was long over. I was looking for voter fraud, and finding it, which is my obligation to do, and otherwise running running (sic) our Country."

Former President Donald Trump asked a court on Monday to dismiss Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis' case against him by claiming "absolute immunity" for any actions he took as part of his official duties as president.

Michael Anthony Kreis, a law professor at the Georgia State University College of Law, examined Trump's filing — and quickly concluded it wasn't worth the paper it was written on.
