Testimony wrapped Wednesday in the $250 million civil fraud case against Donald Trump following over two months of trial — and as the former president signaled he had no intention of settling.
The final witness finished testifying Wednesday around 12:30 p.m. at the New York Attorney General Letitia James’ case against the real estate tycoon on allegations he inflated his assets by billions on yearly financial statements to get better loan and insurance terms.
Closing arguments are scheduled for mid-January and the judge has said he hopes to render a verdict in the non-jury trial by the end of that month.
