Former President Trump appears to be done watching his civil fraud trial, and he had a lot to say about it on his way out of the courthouse.

Speaking to reporters, Trump renewed his attacks on Judge Engoron and accused the "whole system" of being rigged against him while referencing the criminal charges he faces in Washington, D.C., and Fulton County, Georgia.

"Our whole system is corrupt. This is corrupt. Atlanta is corrupt, and what's coming out of DC is corrupt," Trump said.

Trump again claimed that his net worth is more than is represented in his financial documents, and said that his Mar-a-Lago estate is worth "50 to 100 times more" than what Engoron determined.

Trump also resumed attacks on the judge -- who he said is "run by the Democrats" -- and New York Attorney General Letitia James, who he alleged is communicating with the Department of Justice to "keep me nice and busy."

The former president said he's been "stuck" in court when he would rather be campaigning in early primary states.

Asked by ABC News why he attended the trial despite no obligation to do so, he claimed his attendance was necessary to expose corruption to the press.

"Why attend? Because they want to point it out to the press how corrupt it is, because nobody else seems to be able to do it," Trump said.

Trump departed the courthouse and is not expected to return to court for the afternoon session.

Judge Engoron lost patience with Trump's defense counsel during the cross-examination of longtime Trump accountant Donald Bender.

As defense attorney Jesus Suarez repeatedly asked Bender to recall how he arrived at specific values for specific assets in specific years, Engoron interrupted to ask how much longer the cross-examination would last.

Suarez said he would do his best to finish by the end of court today.

That prompted Kevin Wallace with the state attorney general's office to shout, incredulously, "Today?" Wallace accused Suarez of being overly performative with Trump seated at the defense table.

When Engoron reminded the defense, "Mr. Bender is not on trial here," Trump attorney Chris Kise interjected, "I would very much disagree with that."

The judge implored the defense to truncate the line of questioning.

"You're not allowed to waste time," Engoron said.

"This is insane," responded Trump attorney Alina Habba "He has not answered one question."

Engoron pounded the bench, asking reporters in the room to take note. "This is ridiculous," he barked.

Nearly 30 minutes after court resumed following a break, Trump entered the courtroom and returned to his seat at the counsel table.

The defense's cross examination of Mazars USA accountant Donald Bender continued after a brief interruption.

Court has resumed following a break, but Trump is notably absent from the courtroom. His paperwork remains at the counsel table, and his lawyers have left his seat empty.

Eric Trump and New York Attorney General Letitia James returned to the courtroom after the break, along with the lawyers for both sides.

Former Trump accountant Donald Bender is back on the stand for his cross-examination.

When the Trump Organization valued its Seven Springs compound in New York's Westchester County at $261 million, the company included seven mansions, estimated to be worth $23 million each, that had not been built, longtime Trump Organization controller Jeff McConney testified.

In contrast, an appraiser had said Seven Springs was worth $56 million, excluding development rights for the property, which hadn't been awarded.

McConney testified that he did not factor into the valuation when, or whether, the homes would be built.

"You have treated, for the purposes of this valuation, a profit of $23 million per home as if it were realized immediately?" asked Andrew Amer with the New York attorney general's office.

"Correct," McConney said.

Amer said that Trump Organization VP Eric Trump, in a call with McConney the following year, instructed McConney to continue to value the seven mansions the same as he did in 2013.

McConney is testifying as a hostile witness since he is also a named defendant in the case. It gives Amer wider latitude in his examination, though defense attorneys have made several objections about leading questions.

The proceedings were briefly interrupted by the blaring of a horn that was audible in the courtroom, prompting Amer to interrupt his questioning and remark, "Someone is having a celebration."

Judge Engoron, who has displayed a dry wit throughout the trial, responded, "Maybe they're celebrating us."
