negotiate with the moderates in iran. whether the events of barbarity or rockets from lebanon to israel. this is what happens when our adversaries don t fear us. the suez canall and other areas is very real. dana: two breaking news stories happening at the same time. if you could stand by there, we also have president trump arriving at court. we want to bring that to you. sometimes he does talk to the media on the way in. also because this judge has said he cannot give the closing statement as he wanted to. bill joining me here if you would like. the judge said no to that. president trump does want to make some comments. i don t know if it will be before or after. i would imagine it might be before. bill: a couple things going on with the trial. the request was put in to delay today s proceeding because melania trump just lost her mom and the former president asked if he could go back to florida
going to. pleasant day in new york city, not like des moines, iowa. not the frozen tundra. we ll see the judge, maybe you get a final decision today. i think we all know what it s about. he already forecasted that before we got to this phase of the trial. we will hear from the president momentarily. dana: letitia james in the building. united airlines flight making an emergency landing after an open door indicator lit up shortly after take off. it comes less than a wake after a door plug blew out midair on an alaska airlines flight. it was not the same model. the united flight was headed from sarasota, florida to chicago. pilots rerouted the plane to tampa and that plane landed safely.
indeed a terrible witch hunt. we ll have a news conference a little later on. as you know i want to speak and want to make is submission. the judge is not letting me make the summation. i will bring up things he doesn t want to hear. a very unfair trial. nobody has seen anything like this. i don t think they ve ever seen anything like this. we have a situation where a statute was used that doesn t give me a jury, i have no jury. i have no rights in this. nobody thinks it is constitutional. legal scholars are writing about it like it is something they ve never seen before. so it s interference. political interference and something that shouldn t be allowed. so i am hoping to speak and to reveal all of the defects of
trump testified earlier in the trial he, his adult sons and several trump organization executives are accused of defrauding banks and insurance companies by inflating assets. trump argues all the loans were paid back and no victim in the case. he calls it a political witch hunt brought by new york attorney general james. she wants to ban trump and his family from doing business in new york as well as a large fine. his defamation lawsuit trial is set to start next week. trump separately faces the new york hush money case, georgia election interference case and federal cases involving january 6th and his alleged retention of classified documents. the civil fraud case today is a bench trial which means justice arthur engoron has sole discretion in deciding trump s punishment. keep in mind, engoron ruled before this trial even start
evidence that trump is liable for fraud. this entire trial was more about just deciding the scope of it and his punishment. engoron says that a written decision will be coming at the end of this month at the earliest. a decision won t be coming today. send it back to you. dana: thank you. leticia james is the attorney general and put out a statement echoing that. remember that the court ruled in our favor. found that donald trump engaged in years of significant financial fraud and unjustly enriched himself and his family and confidence the case they presented will end up with the rule of law on their side. you have that from her. very unusual for an attorney general to spend all her time in one particular courtroom for one particular case but that s what she decided to do. bill: some states you have state supreme court justices not elected or appointed. she was elected and she campaigned for years going after donald trump and today she is going to have her say in court. legal analy
