NEW YORK—Jurors at Nikola Corp. founder Trevor Milton’s fraud trial starting next week will be allowed to watch a marketing video that prosecutors said shows a truck appearing to drive on its own power when it was actually rolling down a hill, a judge ruled on Thursday.
The ruling came after U.S. District Judge Edgardo Ramos also rejected Milton’s motions to dismiss an indictment accusing the former billionaire of lying to investors about the electric- and hydrogen-powered automaker’s progress in developing its technology starting in 2019.
