Speaking to reporters during a break after his lawyer Alina Habba grilled Michael Cohen for over an hour, Trump continued his attacks on his former attorney.

"[He] went to jail for lying, [and] this is their only witness," Trump said of Cohen. "When you think about it, it's pretty amazing."

Trump said that despite the lack of a jury, he would win the case.

"We will win because the facts are on our side to a level that nobody's ever seen anything like that before," Trump said.

The case will be decided by Judge Engoron, who already determined in a pretrial ruling that Trump had engaged in repeated fraud.

Judge Engoron encouraged the attorneys in the case to be respectful of one another as the sparring continued during the cross-examination of former Trump attorney Michael Cohen.

After Assistant Attorney General Colleen Faherty attempted to object to why a news article referenced by the defense was not entered into evidence, defense attorney Chris Kise responded, "Just sit down and you will find out."

Cohen rarely looked toward Trump, largely directing his attention at Habba as she posed questions and shot back comments.

"You are very good at blaming other people," Habba observed to Cohen at one point during his testimony.

After Engoron called for the attorneys to be respectful, Kise retorted: "Respect is not something you get -- it's something you earn."

Confrontational outbursts punctuated the ongoing cross-examination of Michael Cohen as defense attorney Alina Habba attempted to confront the former Trump attorney with nearly a decade of his past statements about his ex-boss.

Habba showed Cohen portions of his books -- one of which was handed out in court -- as well as past comments on social media and media interviews in which Cohen heaped praise on Trump before Cohen broke with Trump in 2018.

"I can tell you that Mr. Trump's memory is fantastic, and I've never come [across] a situation where Mr. Trump has said something that is not accurate," Cohen told CNN in 2015 in a quote that was read aloud by Habba in court.

Habba also read from an ABC News story in which Cohen said he admired Trump and that he had read Trump's book, "The Art of the Deal," twice while in high school.

"I have answered every question you want. Why are you screaming at me?" Cohen asked Habba at one point after a line of questions related to his 2015 CNN appearance.

"Do I have animosity towards him? Yes, I do," Cohen said about Trump, as the former president sat just feet away from him.

"You have made a career out of publicly attacking President Trump, haven't you?" Habba asked.

"Yes," Cohen said.

The heated cross-examination of Michael Cohen resumed with the state attorney general's office accusing defense lawyers of "showmanship" and the judge stepping in to referee.

Trump attorney Alina Habba accused Cohen of perjuring himself when he pleaded guilty in 2018 to criminal conduct including tax evasion, among other crimes. Cohen testified yesterday that "there was no tax evasion. At best, it could be characterized as a tax omission."

Habba said that testimony amounted to perjury. Collen Faherty, a lawyer for the state, accused Habba of "showmanship" and "a little bit of a stunt."

Habba shot back, "This is not showmanship. I'm just doing my job."

Another Trump lawyer, Chris Kise, interjected, "There is nothing wrong with calling a liar a liar. Perjury is perjury. The attorney general is trying to cover for an extraordinarily defective witness."

Judge Engoron sided with the defense but instructed Habba to not use the word "perjury," prompting Trump to shake his head.

"Yesterday was the first time you admitted in open court that you lied to Judge Pauley?" Habba asked, referring to the federal judge who took Cohen's plea.

"In open court, yes," Cohen responded.

Donald Trump's accounting expert snapped at a lawyer for the New York attorney general after the lawyer suggested his opinion was bought by the defense team.

As accounting expert Eli Bartov was testifying about Trump's use of disclaimers in his financial statements, state attorney Kevin Wallace interjected, saying, "This is pure speculation from someone they hired to say whatever it is they want."

Still in the witness box, Bartov began yelling at Wallace about the comment as Trump sat watching a few feet away.

"You make up allegations that never existed," Bartov shouted. "I am here to tell the truth. You ought to be ashamed of yourself for talking like that."

Bartov, in his testimony, said that Trump's use of disclaimers functioned "just like the warning from the surgeon general on a box of cigarettes."

The accounting expert said that Trump's disclaimers clearly flagged to his lenders that they should conduct their own due diligence regarding the figures, rather than rely on them at face value. Witnesses from Deutsche Bank -- Trump's primary lender during the 2010s -- previously testified that they conducted due diligence and significantly undercut the valuations Trump provided in his financial statement when deciding to offer him loans.

"I never saw anything that is clearer than that," Bartov said about the language in Trump's disclaimer clause. "Even my nine-year-old granddaughter Emma would understand this language."

In his pretrial summary judgment ruling, Judge Engoron dismissed Trump's argument that disclaimer clauses protect him from allegations of fraud. While multiple defense witnesses have attempted to rebut Engoron's opinion about Trump's use of disclaimer clauses, the judge has signaled he stands by his opinion.

"My summary judgment is the law of the case on the legal effect of this paragraph or these sentences," Engoron said in response to Bartov's testimony, adding that the clauses "would not insulate the client."

Nevertheless, Trump attorney Chris Kise requested that Engoron reconsider his finding.

"I am fairly liberal in reconsidering my opinions," Engoron said before Bartov resumed his testimony.
