Trump Dismisses Prosecution’s Closing Arguments as “Boring”

Former President Donald Trump criticized the prosecution’s closing arguments with just two words on social media on Tuesday.

“Boring!” and “Filibuster!”

During a break at the Manhattan courthouse, where the prosecution was presenting its closing remarks after lunch, Trump posted his comments. After 90 minutes, prosecutor Joshua Steinglass informed Judge Juan Merchan that he was only about one-third of the way through his summation to the jury, as reported by The Hill.

Trump’s legal team completed its summation in just over two hours, according to the report.

The jury will soon decide Trump’s fate on 34 counts of falsifying business records.

Retired New Jersey Judge Andrew Napolitano told Newsmax on Tuesday that the prosecution failed to prove an underlying crime, and all the hours of closing arguments won’t change that.

“The government not only must prove that the 34 deceptive payments were recorded inaccurately, but that they were done in order to mask an underlying crime,” Napolitano said. “The government hasn’t, in my view, presented that beyond a reasonable doubt. It’s just suggested what it might be.”
