(ASSOCIATED PRESS) Barred from giving a formal closing argument, Donald Trump still seized an opportunity to speak in court at the conclusion of his New York civil fraud trial Thursday, unleashing a barrage of attacks in a six-minute diatribe before being cut off by the judge.

Trump spoke as the judge was trying to find out if the former president would follow rules requiring him to keep his remarks focused on matters related to the trial. Asked whether he would comply with the guidelines, Trump defied the judge and simply launched into his speech.

“We have a situation where I am an innocent man,” Trump protested. “I’m being persecuted by someone running for office and I think you have to go outside the bounds.”

Judge Arthur Engoron — who earlier denied Trump’s extraordinary request to give his own closing statement — let him continue almost uninterrupted for what amounted to a brief personal summation, then cut him off for a scheduled lunch break.

Trump’s in-court remarks ensured a tumultuous final day for a trial over allegations that he habitually exaggerated his wealth on financial statements he provided to banks, insurance companies and others.

Adding to the day’s tension, the exchange took place hours after authorities responded to a bomb threat at the judge’s house in New York City’s suburbs. The scare didn’t delay the start of court proceedings.

Trump, the leading contender for the Republican presidential nomination, has disparaged Engoron throughout the trial, accusing him in a social media post Wednesday night of working closely with the New York attorney general “to screw me.”

On Wednesday, Engoron had nixed an unusual plan by Trump to deliver his own closing remarks in the courtroom, in addition to summations from his legal team. The sticking point was that Trump’s lawyers would not agree to the judge’s demand that he stick to “relevant” matters” and not try to introduce new evidence or make a campaign speech.

  7. Let’s hope he’s barred from doing business in NY. If he thought there was fraud, he should’ve spoken up sooner. But, he didn’t. He could’ve had a jury trial but didn’t indicate that he wanted one.

  8. I really want to support him I really do but if he wins again he'll only have one term and then we have to do this election again. I just can't too much is at stake.

  13. Unfortunately, its the kind of lesson you cant learn. All of them are fascist biggots. Psy Op is weak. They dont ever purify and release. They are sick people.

  14. Kind of reminds me of something. They didn't get what they wanted and I AM certain they paid dearly by exposing themselves. I was standing in front of what tf they wanted.

  15. Leticia…Acts 3:22-23 RULE: CASE DISMISSED, AMEN. @JUDGEGORAN ETC… WE ARE HERE TO MAKE HISTORY, NOT REPEAT IT. JESUS… ✌️💜🌎🆘☢️🙏

  17. Donald Trump is a rip-off artist. Look at the Trump's University. The University is a scam ripping off students. Trump had to pay $25m in settlement for his scam. And this MORON is the front-runner for the Republican Party. What a F***ing joke for the Republican Party! Sounds like a scumbag Party. Period!

  20. Trump is a broken record. “This is a witch hunt like no one has ever seen before”. Blah blah blah. Lock his ass up.

  21. At the start of the trial, Engoron noted that no parties in the case requested a jury trial and that the law mandated a “bench trial” decided by a judge.
    You have probably noticed or already read that this case has no jury,” Engoron said. “Neither side asked for one and, in any event, the remedies sought are all equitable in nature, mandating that the trial be a bench trial, one that a judge alone decides.”

  22. I thought the verdict was already determined. And now it's just a penalty phase? Which makes all the lip service completely irrelevant and my thinking. but then again? What do I know i'm just a typical american

  24. This bullshit crap trump business man Biden doesn't not help it was money people when trump was in u got Biden every thing drop

  25. They don't talk about any of the loans. Were any of the loans in default ? Were all of the loans repaid in full ? The real estate market is up and down and ones net worth can change daily. How was anyone enriched if the loans were repaid in full. Banks normally do due diligence before granting loans. If the loans were repaid in full the obligations of both parties are complete and it's not up to the AG to decide what someone's net worth was ever unless there was some sort of default involved. This seems like a waste of NY Taxpaers money with what the AG is doing. Were the issuing banks subpoenaed as well ?

  27. For you guys to report on this is anti-American. Especially when we all know there is no proof, there is not one piece of proof that you can post here that makes President Trump a criminal.

  29. Any body else who goes against the court ruling would be prosecuted. It one rule for him an another for everyone else
