Donald Trump Seethes at Not Getting Final Word at Trial'Very Unfair'
"Donald Trump has complained that his lawyers will not get the final word in the closing arguments of his hush-money trial, a remark that legal experts have mocked.
In a post on Truth Social, the former president suggested Monday that the prosecution would have a "big advantage" in the trial by delivering its closing statements to the jury after his lawyers delivered theirs.
"WHY IS THE CORRUPT GOVERNMENT ALLOWED TO MAKE THE FINAL ARGUMENT IN THE CASE AGAINST ME? WHY CAN'T THE DEFENSE GO LAST? BIG ADVANTAGE, VERY UNFAIR. WITCH HUNT," Trump wrote on the platform.
It is common practice in criminal trials for prosecutors to summarize their closing arguments last, as the burden of proof falls on them."
