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.

The second day of testimony from the defense's expert accounting witness prompted an argument between attorneys for the two sides over the basic question of what the case is about -- leading defense lawyers to make their fourth unsuccessful request for a directed verdict to end the trial.

The arguments came toward the end of direct testimony by accounting expert defense Eli Bartov, who asserted the New York attorney general's case lacked merit because there was no evidence of any fraud on Trump's statements of financial condition, and that any errors about the values of Trump's properties were unintentional and therefore immaterial.

When the defense attempted to question Bartov about those values, state attorneys objected -- prompting defense attorney Christopher Kise to leap from his seat.

"If they don't call anyone to dispute our values, how have they proven their case?" Kise said.

Judge Arthur Engoron, in a pretrial ruling, already decided that Trump conducted a decade's worth of business using fraudulent financial statements, and state attorney Kevin Wallace suggested that Bartov's findings do not change those findings.

"You can't use false statements in business. That's what the summary judgment decision is all about. I think it is pretty much what the rest of this case is about," Engoron said in response to Kise's question.

Kise argued that if the attorney general doesn't prove what Trump's asset values should have been, the case is a "completely rudderless ship" that needs to be "moored to some sort of standard."

"You can't just say it's a misstatement because you feel like it," Kise argued.

"The standard is truth," Engoron responded.

The exchange prompted Trump's legal spokesperson, Alina Habba, to make the defense's fourth motion for a directed verdict, arguing that Engoron is "wasting our time" if he won't consider their expert testimony.

"They have not proven their case. They haven't," Habba said in her request for a directed verdict.

"Denied," Engoron said within seconds of the request, without hearing a response from lawyers for the New York attorney general.
