After attending his civil fraud trial for two days this week, former President Trump does not plan to return to court today.

"We're having a very big professional golf tournament at Doral, so probably not," Trump told reporters yesterday when asked about his plans to return to court.

LIV Golf is holding a team championship at Trump's Miami, Florida, golf course this weekend, which Trump plans to attend.

He has indicted that he could return to court for the testimony of his former attorney Michael Cohen, which could happen next week.

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.

New York Attorney General Letitia James denounced Donald Trump as "performative" during brief remarks outside the courthouse after court was adjourned for the day.

"He's called me disgraceful. He's called me radical. He's called me a racist, and this is only Week Three," James said of the former president.

She added that she looks forward to seeing Trump again, likely during the testimony of his former lawyer Michael Cohen, which could happen next week. Trump earlier told reporters he likely will not attend court tomorrow.

"We are here to enforce the law, and nothing will change that," James said.

Former President Trump did not return to the courtroom following an afternoon break, and his motorcade departed the courthouse shortly thereafter.

While leaving the courtroom, Trump was asked about a court employee who attempted to approach him during the trial today and was subsequently arrested.

"The attorney general should be arrested for what she's doing," Trump said.

Ivanka Trump must appear to testify at her father’s fraud trial, Judge Arthur Engoron decided from the bench Friday morning.

“I want to see her in person. That is how we prefer testimony,” Engoron said after denying Ivanka Trump’s motion to quash the trial subpoenas she was served.

While Ivanka Trump was not in attendance at Friday's hearing, her lawyer Bennet Moskowitz argued that the state’s justification for bringing Ivanka to the courtroom “falls on its face.”

Characterizing the state’s argument as “a bridge too far,” Moskowitz reiterated that Ivanka neither lives nor has done business in New York since 2017.

State attorney Kevin Wallace defended the subpoenas by arguing Ivanka Trump was a former Trump Organization executive who was the main contact with lenders for Trump’s Washington D.C. Old Post Office hotel. Wallace added that Ivanka Trump still owns properties in New York and operates business here.

Ruling from the bench after a short break, Engoron found that the state presented sufficient evidence to prove that Ivanka does business in New York.

“Ms. Trump owns property in New York and has done business in New York,” he said.

Engoron added that her testimony should not be scheduled before next Wednesday to allow her lawyers to appeal his ruling.

“A trial is a search for the truth, and the law is entitled to every person’s evidence,” Engoron said.
