New York Attorney General Letitia James, speaking to reporters after court had adjourned, said that Trump's testimony didn't change her case.

"He rambled, he hurled insults, but we expected that," James said. "At the end of the day the documentary evidence demonstrated that, in fact, he inflated his net worth."

The New York AG said she "will not be bullied."

"I will not be harassed -- this case will go on," she said.

Donald Trump's lawyers plan to present a defense case that would conclude by Dec. 15, defense lawyer Chris Kise said.

Before court concluded today, Judge Engoron also advised Trump's lawyers that he would not respond positively to a motion for mistrial based on the actions of his clerk who Trump's attorneys have accused of being biased against the defense and improperly influencing the trial.

"I am directing you not to make that motion," Engoron initially said -- but then he backtracked.

"We obviously are going to be moving for a mistrial -- that is part of the plan. [But] we do not want to put anyone at risk," Trump's lawyer Alina Habba said, requesting clarity about how they can move for a mistrial without violating the case's gag order that prohibits parties from making public statements about the judge's staff.

"You can make that motion. And I'm sorry I yelled at you before," Engoron told Habba.

Court is set to resume on Wednesday with testimony from Ivanka Trump.

After testifying on and off for five hours, Donald Trump has stepped down from the witness stand after completing his direct examination.

State attorney Kevin Wallace concluded his questions by asking Trump about his former CFO Allen Weisselberg, who pleaded guilty to tax evasion, and about internal controls at the Trump Organization.

Weisselberg served three months for tax fraud after he pleaded guilty to 15 felony charges related to his compensation while working for Trump.

"People went after him viciously and violently because he worked for me," Trump said.

Trump said he only learned about Weisselberg's illegal conduct because of the Manhattan district attorney's criminal probe into the Trump Organization and Weisselberg.

"I feel very badly for him," Trump said. "He did a good job for me for a long time."

Regarding the current court case, Wallace asked, "Do you think anything needs to change at the Trump Organization because of what you learned from this lawsuit?"

"I don't think so," Trump said, but suggested he would defer to his new accounting firm.

"We will see if anything will come of it," he said.

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.

The People of the State of New York v. Donald J. Trump, et al, is scheduled to get underway in lower Manhattan at 10 a.m. with opening statements.

If opening statements are completed before the end of the day, the New York attorney general plans to begin her case by calling Trump's former Mazars USA accountant Donald Bender to the stand.

Mazars severed its business relationship with the former president last year after learning of the attorney general's findings during the AG's probe.
