Trump is now being asked whether the valuations of a number of his properties are accurate.

Instead of answering yes or no, Trump is giving speeches about how and why he invested in various properties.

Again the judge asks Trump’s legal team to stop the speeches.

“I beseech you to control him if you can. If you can’t, I will,” Judge Engoron says.

      Any legal team that doesn’t demand advance payments at this point is just doing pro-bono work.

      The legal team that didn’t bother to cross examine their own client after he testified for the prosecutor? I think they know.

      Consider that for a moment. Trump himself just testified ONLY for the plaintiff. His own lawyers had nothing for him to answer at all.

      They could have asked him anything like: “explain how it’s someone else that’s responsible for this” or “explain in detail how this is a witch hunt.” Literally anything.

        The more Trump talks the worse it is for him. Stopping him as soon as possible may be the only smart thing they’ve done.
