State attorney Eric Haren has filed a letter with the court arguing that Trump Organization executive Patrick Birney's testimony yesterday about Trump's net worth should be admissible.

During his testimony, Birney claimed that CFO Allen Weisselberg told him that "Mr. Trump wanted his net worth on the statement of financial condition to go up." Trump lawyer Chris Kise immediately objected to the statement as hearsay.

Judge Engoron then asked both parties to submit two-page memos by today, regarding whether the statements from Birney are hearsay.

"Regardless of its truth, Mr. Weisselberg's statement tends to show the existence of an illicit agreement or scheme," Haren wrote in his letter to the judge.

Haren argued that since Weisselberg is alleged to be a co-conspirator who carried out his "illicit objectives" through Birney, the statement should be considered admissible.

While exiting court for a break, former President Trump took a swipe at his former lawyer Michael Cohen, who delayed his testimony in the ongoing trial.

Cohen was scheduled to testify on Tuesday, but postponed his testimony due to a medical issue.

"Cohen didn't have the guts," Trump told reporters in the hallway outside the courtroom.

Trump also continued his criticism of the law used by New York Attorney General Letitia James to bring the case, which he said "doesn't give me any rights whatsoever."

"I'm the victim here," Trump said.

Doug Larson's name appears across five years of Donald Trump's financial documents, according to records entered into evidence.

A longtime professional appraiser with the real estate firm Cushman & Wakefield, Larson was cited in Trump Organization documents as an expert at valuing properties like 40 Wall Street, Trump Tower, and an adjoining retail space called "Niketown." Spreadsheets entered as evidence explicitly reference multiple phone calls with Larson between 2013 and 2017.

When asked about these phone calls in court, Larson testified that no such conversations occurred.

"Is it fair to say that Mr. Trump valued Trump Tower at $526 million in conjunction with you?" state attorney Mark Ladov asked Larson.

"No, that is incorrect," Larson said.

"Were you aware that Mr. McConney was citing you as a valuation source in his work papers?" Ladov asked.

"No, I was not," replied Larson, who said he did not assist Trump Organization executives in valuing Trump Tower, Niketown, or 40 Wall Street, despite Trump's paperwork referencing him as a source.

Evidence presented by the state instead suggested that the valuations were determined using cherry-picked metrics from a generic email Larson sent clients.

"It's a way to get your name out to clients for potential work," Larson said about one such "email blast" that was used in a Trump Tower valuation.

Larson added that the valuations Trump Organization executives determined based on "consultation" with him used flawed methodologies, such as using capitalization rates related to office buildings to appraise the retail Niketown building.

"It doesn't make sense," Larson said about Niketown's $287 million valuation.

"It's inappropriate and inaccurate," Larson said about the Trump Organization relying on his name to support their valuations. "I should have been told, and appraisals should have been ordered."

With former President Trump looking on silently from his seat at the defense table, his civil fraud trial turned to the allegedly fraudulent valuation of his 40 Wall Street property.

The Trump Organization's assistant controller, Donna Kidder, testified that around 2012, the company's then-chief financial officer, Allen Weisselberg, instructed her to omit from a financial ledger some of the fees the company charged to manage the building.

Kidder said Weisselberg described it as money that moved within the Trump Organization from "one pocket to another."

The ledger documents, which were provided to the real estate investment firm Ladder Capital, were related to the refinancing of 40 Wall Street.

"Allen Weisselberg said that since they were affiliated entities, management fees could be omitted," Kidder said.

Lowering expenses would make the building's net operating income higher and, thereby, make the building more valuable, state attorneys said. The move helped the Trump Organization claim 40 Wall Street was worth $540 million when its true appraised value was $260 million, said the state.

Kidder also testified about the value of a penthouse apartment in Trump Park Avenue that was rented by Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner in 2011. The attorney general's office has alleged the apartment was reported at a value several times higher than the agreed selling price.

Kidder testified that Ivanka Trump had been given an option to buy the unit, Penthouse 28, for $8.5 million. However, on statements of financial condition, the Trump Organization valued the apartment significantly higher, at $20.8 million in 2012 and $25 million in 2013.

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.
