Keep your voice down, judge warns Donald Trump at fraud trial

Arthur Engoron gives warning after ex-president conferred aloud in court and threw hands up in frustration as witness testified

A judge warned Donald Trump and others at his New York civil fraud trial to keep their voices down on Wednesday after the former president threw up his hands in frustration and spoke aloud to his lawyers while a witness was testifying against him.

Judge Arthur Engoron gave the admonition after Trump conferred animatedly with his lawyers at the defense table during real-estate appraiser Doug Larson’s second day of testimony at the Manhattan trial.
