New York Supreme Court Justice Arthur Engoron presided over closing arguments in the Trump civil fraud trial.
  • The New York Times reported that ex-Trump Org CFO Allan Weisselberg is mulling a perjury plea.
  • This was news to Arthur Engoron, the judge presiding over the fraud-trial testimony in question.
  • On Tuesday, he demanded that both sides tell him what the heck's going on.
