Jack Weisselberg set to continue testimony
Day 13 of the trial is scheduled to get underway this morning with continued testimony from Ladder Capital executive Jack Weisselberg, who took the stand yesterday afternoon.
The son of former Trump Organization CFO Allen Weisselberg, who is a defendant in the case, Jack Weisselberg said yesterday that he often worked directly with his father while working on a 2015 deal to refinance the Trump Organization's $160 million mortgage of its 40 Wall Street office building.

The younger Weisselberg also described interactions with the Trump Organization executives who worked to protect the sensitivity of Trump's financial information.
"I think they were concerned about confidentiality and wanted to make sure it got into my hands," said Jack Weisselberg, describing how Trump's financial documents were sent to him via a messenger.
He also testified how, when Trump Organization executives were contemplating a 2012 loan, they appeared sensitive about making certain financial documents public -- including how much fashion brand Gucci paid in rent at Trump Tower.
"He is also nervous about Gucci's rent becoming public knowledge, as he tends to embellish from time to time," Jack Weisselberg wrote in a 2012 email that was entered into evidence, apparently referring to Trump.
"I recall it being public was a concern," Jack Weisselberg said when asked about the information referenced in the email.
