Trump Loses Fifth Attempt To Boot NY Fraud Case

The Messenger reports:

For at least the fifth time, former President Donald Trump on Monday lost an attempt to dismiss his civil fraud case through a maneuver seeking a directed verdict in his favor. In tossing Trump’s latest challenge, Manhattan Supreme Court Justice Arthur Engoron reminded the former president that “a lie is still a lie.”

“At least five times during the recently concluded ten-and-a-half-week trial of this matter, defendants moved for a directed verdict,” Engoron wrote in a three-page ruling.
