Standing in the courthouse hallway where his father earlier railed against his civil trial, Eric Trump echoed his father's attacks on the New York attorney general and the case levied against his family, following the adjournment of court for the day.

"We have an unbelievable company. We have some of the best assets anywhere in the world. We've never had a default. We've never missed a payment," Eric Trump said of the Trump Organization.

Like his father, he described the case as politically motivated and decried the involvement of his family.

"They've dragged Don and I and Ivanka into it as collateral damage," he said.

Later, addressing reporters on the courthouse steps, he said that the state's efforts should be focused elsewhere.

"Let's get the murderers off the street. Let's take care of the crime. Let's rebuild our infrastructure. Everywhere you drive in New York, you hit a pothole and your car gets destroyed," he said.

Judge Engoron adjourned court until Monday, when the state plans to call former President Trump to the stand.

"We will reconvene on Monday at 10 a.m., and the first witness will be...?" Engoron asked state attorney Andrew Amer.

"The only witness will be Donald J. Trump," Amer said.

Eric Trump has stepped down from the witness stand after facing an hour of questions from state attorney Andrew Amer.

Amer concluded his questioning by directly asking Eric Trump about the $2 million severance agreement between the Trump Organization and its former CFO, Allen Weisselberg.

"Did you participate in the business agreement to enter into this business decision with Mr. Weisselberg?" Amer asked.

"Yes," Eric Trump said.

"Did your father direct you to enter into this agreement with Mr. Weisselberg?" Amer asked.

"No, he did not," Eric Trump replied. He reiterated, "I did this agreement with Mr. Weisselberg."

Pressed on the value of Trump's Mar-A-Lago property, Eric Trump denied knowing that the club was valued for tax purposes as a commercial property used as a social club.

"It is very clear that Mar-a-Lago is not a club, it is a private residence. I don't see anything wrong with that. 100 percent," Eric Trump said.

Previous testimony and documents in evidence demonstrated that despite the property being restricted by deed to club usage, Donald Trump continued to overvalue the property as if it could be sold as a private residence. Judge Engoron already found that the club was overvalued by 2,300%.

"Mar-a-Lago is a residence that could be sold to a private individual," Eric Trump insisted.

Eric Trump said that he signed three financial certifications to lenders that relied on his father's statements of financial condition, which are at the heart of the attorney general's case.

"I certified something I believed was accurate. My lawyers told me was accurate, and our financial people told me was accurate," Eric Trump said.

While Eric Trump did not certify his father's financial statements themselves, like his brother Donald Trump Jr., the attorney general has alleged that these certifications to lenders are similarly fraudulent.

Eric Trump said that he did not personally review the methodologies or supporting data for the financial statements themselves, instead relying on lawyers and accountants to verify the documents for him.

"I wouldn't sign something that I thought was inaccurate," he said multiple times.

Donald Trump's defense team plans to call their first of several expert witnesses to the stand today.

Steven Witkoff, a New York-based real estate investor and developer, is set to testify about his expert opinion that the Trump National Doral golf course in Miami was undervalued in Trump's financial statement, despite the attorney general's claim to the contrary.

The expert report Witkoff prepared for the case also criticized the finding from the state's expert regarding the value of Trump's 40 Wall Street property.

During a 2018 roundtable on tax reform, Trump called Witkoff a "pal" who he inspired to enter the real estate industry.

"You know, people don't realize Steve started out as a lawyer -- a very good lawyer, a top lawyer in New York. And then he said, 'I'm going to go into the real estate business because I can do this, too," Trump said. "He saw me do it, and he said, 'If Trump can do it, I guess I can do it, right?'"
