Donald Trump Jr. has stepped down from the stand after testifying yesterday afternoon and this morning.

Trump Jr., who appeared comfortable and often smiled at the judge during most of his direct examination, began to invoke attorney-client privilege toward the end of his testimony, when he was asked about conversations within the Trump Organization after executives there learned of the New York attorney general's probe.

"Did you have anything to do with the statements of financial condition?" the judge intervened to ask Trump Jr. about the documents at the center of the AG's case.

"No, I did not, your honor," Trump Jr. said.

Defense lawyers declined to cross examine their own client.

Donald Trump Jr. testified he largely ignored a 2017 email from a Forbes magazine reporter who asked about the false claim that Donald Trump's triplex apartment in Trump Tower was 30,000 square feet -- about three times larger than its actual size.

Forwarded the message by a Trump Organization executive in 2017, Trump Jr. replied, "Insane amount of stuff there," according to material entered into evidence.

Asked about the email, Trump Jr. said he largely ignored the lengthy email and did not act on it.

"I don't know if I would spend hundreds of questions' worth of time answering questions from Forbes magazine," Trump Jr. said. "I have no specific recollection of doing anything with it."

Despite the error being called out, Trump Jr. and then-CFO Allen Weisselberg still signed off on Trump's 2016 financial statement that falsely claimed Trump's triplex was 30,000 square feet and worth $327 million, according to the New York attorney general's complaint.

Judge Engoron later paused the proceedings for the court's morning break. On his way out of the courtroom, Trump Jr. stopped to chat with the court's sketch artist.

"He said, 'Make me look sexy,'" the artist, Jane Rosenberg, told reporters.

Rosenberg famously sketched Trump Jr.'s father during his arraignment in the Stormy Daniels case, with her work landing on the cover of New Yorker magazine.

Donald Trump Jr., back on the stand for the second day, testified that the signatures on some of the statements of financial condition at the center of the case were his, but he denied working on them or having intimate knowledge of their contents.

"I would have checked with our legal department. If they assured me in their expert opinion that these things were fine, I would have been fine with that and would have signed accordingly," Trump Jr. said.

Assistant attorney general Colleen Faherty asked if his answer would be the same -- that he had no specific knowledge of the financial statements -- for each of the years between 2017 and 2021, when he was trustee of the revocable trust that held his father's assets.

"Rinse and repeat," Trump Jr. responded. "I think we could save each other a lot of time and effort -- yes, it would be the same thing."

Donald Trump Jr. is back on the witness stand for his second day of testimony.

When he entered the courtroom, he briefly walked by New York Attorney General Letitia James, who is seated in the first row of the court's gallery.

His entrance was followed by a brief photo opportunity for news photographers before court got underway.

After Trump Jr. quipped during yesterday's photo op that he should have worn makeup, Judge Engoron jokingly asked him during the photos this morning, "Did you remember for today?"

After claiming a net worth of $8 billion, Donald Trump declined to share his financial statements with bankers related to his $1 billion bid to purchase the Buffalo Bills football team in 2014, according to documents presented at trial and testimony from Morgan Stanley executive K. Don Cornwell.

Of the 86 parties contacted to potentially bid on the Bills, Trump was one of six parties to make a final bid, according to a Morgan Stanley document shown at trial.

However, when Morgan Stanley attempted a close review of Trump's bid, Trump declined to provide his financial statements.

"We feel it is premature to sign the consent release forms until such time as we know that Mr. Trump is the final bidder," then-Trump attorney Michael Cohen said in a 2014 email shown at trial.

During a management presentation with Bills' leadership, Trump instead handed out a Forbes magazine list to support his bid, according to Cornwell.

"He gave us handouts of the Forbes list of the top-paid entertainers," Cornwell said.

Trump eventually lost his bid to purchase the football team to billionaire Terry Pegula, who outbid Trump by $400 million.

During cross-examination, Cornwell acknowledged that a lawsuit Trump previously brought against the NFL, as well as his affiliation with casinos, also limited the likelihood of his success.

"You thought that President Trump had little chance of being approved by the NFL?" defense attorney Ivan Feris asked.

"Yes," Cornwell replied.

Trump's lawyers have argued that his bid to purchase the Bills -- which has featured prominently in the testimony of other witnesses -- is irrelevant to the conduct alleged in the attorney general's lawsuit.

"It is the defense position that none of this relates to a cause of action in this case," Feris said.
