Trump civil case: Fraud was central to Trump Organization, lawyers tell New York trial | BBC News


Donald Trump was in court in New York for the closing day of his civil fraud trial, with lawyers for both sides making final arguments.

The former president told the judge the case is a "fraud on me" and a "political witch hunt" – but the prosecution says fraud was "central" to Trump Organization operations.

Trump and his two adult sons have already been found liable of massively inflating the value of their properties by hundreds of millions of dollars. They deny any wrongdoing.

The trial is now focusing on any penalties the Trumps must pay – with New York’s attorney general asking the judge to fine Trump $370m (£290m) for what she calls the "outrageous" schemes.
