Donald Trump’s lawyers were thwarted Thursday in their longshot bid to immediately end the New York civil fraud trial that threatens the former president’s real estate empire. Judge Arthur Engoron didn’t rule on the request, but he indicated that the trial will go on as scheduled Monday with Donald Trump Jr. returning to the stand as the first defense witness. Trump’s lawyers had asked Engoron to cut the trial short and issue a verdict clearing Trump, his company, and top executives including Trump Jr. of wrongdoing, the AP reports.
