Trump goes into campaign speech mode in court address

A little too much makeup I think...

Donald Trump spoke from the defense table for roughly five minutes as closing arguments concluded, before Judge Arthur Engoron cut him off.

Trump's comments were similar to what he's said in public all along during the trial and he did not criticize the judge or his clerk.

“The facts are the financial statements are perfect, that there are no witnesses against us. The banks got all their money paid back. There were great loans," Trump said.

“This was a political witch hunt,” Trump added, claiming that “we should receive damages."

“We have a situation where I’m an innocent man I’ve been persecuted by somebody running for office and I think you have to go outside the bounds," the former president said.

"What’s happened here sir is a fraud on me,” Trump said. "They want to make sure that I don't win again and this is partially election interference."
