Trump displays sharp recall of decade-old transactions
In a workmanlike tone contrasting with the day's initial vitriol, Trump has been issuing mostly terse responses to the state's questions about his properties in Chicago and Washington, D.C.
While earlier witnesses, including Trump's sons and key Trump Organization executives, often struggled to recall details of transactions while on the stand, Trump has been demonstrating a sharp recollection of decade-old transactions and emails.

State attorney Kevin Wallace marched through a series of questions about loan documents related to those properties, with the former president cooperating with his line of inquiry.
When Wallace brought up the loan agreement for a Trump-owned building in Chicago, Trump launched into a defense of the loan, which he said he paid off in full and ahead of schedule.
"This loan was paid off in full, with no default, no problem," Trump said. "It was a very successful loan ... so the bank was thrilled."
"There was no victim," Trump added.
