‘Show trial’: Trump decided to ‘take his six minutes’ despite judge’s orders

Sky News contributor Kosha Gada says former US president Donald Trump giving a closing statement in his fraud trial despite the judge not allowing it down to the belief the case is a “show trial.” Mr Trump defended himself during the closing arguments of his fraud trial on Thursday despite Judge Arthur Engoron initially refusing to let him speak. “A lot of people considered this really a show trial in many ways, starting from the premise of what the indictment is about all the way to how its been conducted,” Ms Kosha told Sky News Australia host Caleb Bond. “Trump is going to Trump - where if he thinks it’s a show trial, that isn’t going to amount to much anyway. “He just decided that he was going to take his six minutes and say whatever he wants to say to move the conversation and suck up the oxygen as he does very well.”
