Court has adjourned for the day, with the trial scheduled to resume Monday for the start of the defense's case.

The court will be closed Friday in observation of Veterans Day.

Donald Trump Jr. will return to the witness stand to testify as the defense's first witness on Monday, assuming the judge does not rule in favor of Trump's motion for a directed verdict to end the case early.

Judge Engoron has denied a motion from the New York attorney general to preclude four expert witnesses from testifying for the defense when the defense presents it case starting on Monday.

The state had sought to preclude the four experts' testimony on the grounds that, following the testimony of the state's witnesses, the four defense witnesses were no longer relevant to the case.

"You've won the battle. We'll see if you win the war," Engoron told defense attorney Chris Kise -- though he warned Kise that he would cut off the witnesses if they try to debate facts already established in the case.

In making his ruling, Engoron reiterated his finding from his earlier summary judgment order that Donald Trump made at least ten internally contradictory claims in his statements of financial condition.

"You can't have a correct statement with these kinds of errors," Engoron said.

Kise told the court that Donald Trump Jr. will be the first witness to testify in the defense's case on Monday.

"Oh, I know him," Engoron deadpanned after the announcement.

It will mark Trump Jr.'s return to the witness box after the state put him on the stand last week.

Court has resumed after a lunch break, and Trump attorney Chris Kise appears to have had a change of heart regarding his earlier barb directed toward state attorney Andrew Amer.

Before lunch, Kise threw some shade at Amer during arguments over the state's motion to preclude testimony from four of the defense's expert witnesses.

Returning from court after the break, Kise took back his words and apologized.

"I am going to apologize to the court, I am going to apologize to Mr. Amer," Kise said.

"I appreciate it and accept the apology," Amer responded.

Trump attorney Chris Kise grew visibly frustrated as today's proceedings moved on to arguments over the state's motion to preclude testimony from four of the defense's expert witnesses that the state argues are no longer relevant to the case.

After state attorney Andrew Amer argued in favor of the motion, Kise suggested he belongs in totalitarian Russia.

"I suggest Mr. Amer check the internet," Kise said. "Vladmir Putin has some openings. That is where he belongs."

Describing the comment as "completely uncalled for," Judge Engoron suggested that Kise apologize to Amer.

"I am not going to apologize," Kise said, though he promised to refrain from "further pejoratives."

Defense attorney Christopher Kise requested Judge Engoron issue a directed verdict at the conclusion of testimony from Deutsche Bank managing director Dave Williams -- marking the third time the defense has asked the judge to stop the proceedings and decide the case in their favor.

"Was an event of default ever declared by Deutsche Bank on the loans to the Trump Organization?" defense attorney Jesus Suarez asked Williams at the end of Williams' testimony.

"No," Williams replied, prompting Kise to jump up and make his request.

"This witness has again testified the bank conducted its own due diligence" and was not defrauded by Trump's statements of financial condition, Kise argued.

"This is a subjective exercise. There isn't a right answer. There isn't an 'Ah-ha, you picked the wrong number,'" Kise said. "The bank is in a relationship whose job it is to make these determinations. It's not the attorney general's job to insert herself into a private transaction ten years later."

Judge Engoron took the defense's motion under advisement but signaled he was unmoved.

"The mere fact that the lenders were happy doesn't mean the statute wasn't violated," Engoron said.

Kevin Wallace, an attorney for the state, took issue with Kise's analysis of the testimony.

"The witness did not say none of this matters. The witness said he expects clients to tell the truth," Wallace said.
