Wow Trump just called out Judge Engoron for being a political hack straight to his face:
“You have your own agenda, I certainly understand that. You can’t listen for more than one minute.”

Here’s more remarks from Trump via CNN:
“Well I think your honor that I think this case goes outside just the facts…
“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 continued.
[…]
“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.”
At this point, after five minutes, Judge Engoron reportedly cut off the president’s statements.

Former President Donald Trump on Thursday attended closing arguments in the New York City civil trial against him.
Trump showed up at the New York State Supreme Court just hours after participating in a town hall event hosted by Fox News in Iowa the night prior.
Trump flew back from his tour-de-force Iowa townhall last night and is already up in NYC in court this morning

Before entering the courthouse, Trump gave remarks to the press slamming the trial as a political witch hunt targeting him for being the Republican frontrunner and Joe Biden’s strongest opponent.

“It’s election interference at the highest level,” Trump told reporters.
“It’s a disgrace. It’s in coordination with the White House and Joe Biden because he can’t win a campaign fairly. And we’re going through it. But, it is indeed a terrible witch hunt.”
The former president said he would give a full statement on the trial once it concludes citing a gag order, and proceeded to describe an Alex Jones-like prosecution where he’s been declared guilty without the benefit of a jury trial.
“It’s a very unfair trial. I don’t think anybody’s seen anything like this. I don’t think anybody’s ever seen anything like this,” Trump told the press. “We have a situation where a statute was used that doesn’t give me a jury, so I have no jury. I really have no rights.”
Trump, himself a former New York City resident, went on to accuse NY Attorney General Letitia James of orchestrating the litigation, saying she had repeatedly claimed she wanted to “get Trump.”
“This is a case that should have never been brought, and it was brought. And it’s very unfair, and it’s very bad for New York State,” Trump said.
“Companies are fleeing. People are fleeing. The streets are crime-ridden. And Letitia James, that’s all she thinks about is ‘Get Trump.’ She’s been dreaming about it for years. And it’s not the way a state should be run. Because this is a state that’s been in big trouble. You have all the businesses fleeing and you have the people fleeing — the people that pay taxes. People that don’t pay taxes are coming in. So that’s not what you want.”
The attorney general is pursuing $370 million in “damages” alleging Trump overstated the value of multiple properties to secure favorable bank loan terms, and wants Trump and his family banned from operating in the state.
