CNN fact-checked Trump’s claims, calling his speech a “political speech filled with some legal inaccuracies.”
The judge was open to allowing Trump to speak during closing arguments but wanted to impose restrictions, which Trump’s lawyers refused.
“It’s election interference at the highest level,” Trump said.
The case is “in coordination with the White House and Joe Biden cause he can’t win a campaign fairly,” he added.
“I have no jury, I really have no rights, and it’s sad.”
CNN obtained correspondence between the judge and Trump’s team, indicating that the issue was more about politics than the law.
“It’s not about the law, really. It’s about the politics,” John Berman said.
“It’s about the campaign. And that was very obvious as he was walking into that courtroom.”
