Watch: The biggest takeaways from Trump’s fraud trial… in 82 seconds

Appearing in court in New York at the end of the civil fraud case against the Trump Organization on Thursday, Donald Trump insisted on having his say.

The judge had previously said the former president would not be able to speak in the courtroom but eventually relented and gave him a few minutes.

He used that platform to accuse the city's attorney general of hating him before striding out of the courtroom and declaring the case a "sham" to waiting reporters.
