The defense team in Donald Trump‘s hush-money trial in New York City rested their case on Tuesday without calling the former president to the stand. A paralegal and Robert Costello, a lawyer who advised former Trump fixer Michael Cohen, served as the only two witnesses for the defense over the past couple of days. Defense lawyers had also wanted campaign finance expert Bradley Smith to testify, but he did not take the stand after the judge placed limits on what he could say. “We’ll be resting pretty quickly,” Trump said outside the courtroom. “Resting meaning resting the case. I won’t be resting. I don’t rest. I’d like to rest sometimes but I don’t get to rest.” Judge Juan Merchan adjourned the court until next Tuesday when closing arguments are expected to occur, and jurors may be able to begin deliberations the following day. Trump has pleaded not guilty to 34 felony counts of falsifying business records to allegedly cover up payments in a bid to conceal damaging information as part of a “catch-and-kill” scheme to influence the 2016 election. Prosecutors, led by Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, presented 20 witnesses and more than 200 exhibits over several weeks of testimony. CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP Their star witnesses included adult film actress Stormy Daniels, who allegedly had a tryst with Trump in 2006 (a claim the former president denies), and Cohen, who facilitated a $130,000 payment to Daniels to keep her quiet. Trump suggested before the trial began last month that he wanted to testify under oath. Weeks later, Trump claimed he was not allowed to testify because of a gag order. Merchan later clarified that Trump had “an absolute right” to testify. The former president’s legal spokeswoman, Alina Habba, told Fox News on Monday that Trump “wants to testify” but noted that he would have to listen to his attorneys when it came to the final decision about whether he would take the stand. Trump, who claims he is facing “political persecution,” is currently trying to fend off three other criminal matters on the state and federal levels as he runs for another term in the White House.

Oakland, a blue city in California, took down a traffic light at a busy intersection after thieves kept swiping copper wire, and residents say the nearby homeless encampment is to blame. City workers replaced the traffic lights with four-way stop signs at the intersection located at East 12th Street and 16th Avenue. The move came after people repeatedly stole copper wire and tampered with the electrical box at the intersection to allegedly steal power. The city tried putting heavy cement blocks on top of the electrical boxes, but people simply dragged them out of the way, a city spokesman said. The stop signs are temporary, according to the city, but it does not have a timeline for reinstalling the traffic lights. Neighbors expressed their frustration, and some blamed the homeless encampment around the intersection. The encampment spans about three blocks on 12th Street from 17th and 14th Avenues. “If you really want to fix the stop sign, I think you really have to clean up this homeless encampment,” Tam Le, owner of Le’s Auto Body & Engine Repair, told CBS San Francisco. He has been running his auto shop on a corner of the intersection for more than 25 years. “It’s just telling us that the city is giving up on us,” Le said. The traffic lights had not worked properly for months before they were taken down, residents said. “The city did try to fix the traffic light at least a few times. But once they fixed it, normally within a week or so, it will go out again,” Le said. Violent crime is up overall in Oakland compared to this time last year, according to the latest police data. Robberies, in particular, have spiked, topping 1,000 incidents already this year. Robberies involving a gun are up 21% to 409 incidents, and carjackings are up 4% to 166 incidents. Aggravated assaults are down but remain high at more than 900 incidents. Homicides are also down, but 23 people have already been killed this year. CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP Oakland residents have been sounding off about rising crime for at least a year. Last May, about 500 angry residents showed up to a town hall meeting on crime to demand answers from city leaders on Oakland becoming more dangerous, especially violent incidents perpetrated on women and the elderly. In July, the Oakland chapter of the NAACP blasted city leaders and called for a state of emergency over the city’s crime “crisis.” The black civil rights organization, which tends to lean Left, blamed the “defund the police” movement specifically as part of the reason for the crime spike. In nearby San Francisco, the worsening trifecta of crime, homelessness, and public drug use has caused many businesses to abandon the city’s once bustling downtown area. This has left many commercial buildings empty and cut into the city’s tax revenue, exacerbating the city’s growing budget deficit, which officials warned could reach nearly $1.4 billion by 2027.
