“I’m an innocent man persecuted. I have to go outside the bands,” Trump said.
The trial centers around a civil investigation into the business practices of Trump and the Trump Organization, with allegations of financial fraud.
Trump’s impromptu speech in court and his defiance of conventional protocols added tension to the legal battles he faces.
The outcome of the trial and its potential implications, as well as Trump’s ability to galvanize his supporters, remain significant aspects of his political persona.
