Speaking to reporters during a break after his lawyer Alina Habba grilled Michael Cohen for over an hour, Trump continued his attacks on his former attorney.

"[He] went to jail for lying, [and] this is their only witness," Trump said of Cohen. "When you think about it, it's pretty amazing."

Trump said that despite the lack of a jury, he would win the case.

"We will win because the facts are on our side to a level that nobody's ever seen anything like that before," Trump said.

The case will be decided by Judge Engoron, who already determined in a pretrial ruling that Trump had engaged in repeated fraud.

Judge Engoron encouraged the attorneys in the case to be respectful of one another as the sparring continued during the cross-examination of former Trump attorney Michael Cohen.

After Assistant Attorney General Colleen Faherty attempted to object to why a news article referenced by the defense was not entered into evidence, defense attorney Chris Kise responded, "Just sit down and you will find out."

Cohen rarely looked toward Trump, largely directing his attention at Habba as she posed questions and shot back comments.

"You are very good at blaming other people," Habba observed to Cohen at one point during his testimony.

After Engoron called for the attorneys to be respectful, Kise retorted: "Respect is not something you get -- it's something you earn."

Confrontational outbursts punctuated the ongoing cross-examination of Michael Cohen as defense attorney Alina Habba attempted to confront the former Trump attorney with nearly a decade of his past statements about his ex-boss.

Habba showed Cohen portions of his books -- one of which was handed out in court -- as well as past comments on social media and media interviews in which Cohen heaped praise on Trump before Cohen broke with Trump in 2018.

"I can tell you that Mr. Trump's memory is fantastic, and I've never come [across] a situation where Mr. Trump has said something that is not accurate," Cohen told CNN in 2015 in a quote that was read aloud by Habba in court.

Habba also read from an ABC News story in which Cohen said he admired Trump and that he had read Trump's book, "The Art of the Deal," twice while in high school.

"I have answered every question you want. Why are you screaming at me?" Cohen asked Habba at one point after a line of questions related to his 2015 CNN appearance.

"Do I have animosity towards him? Yes, I do," Cohen said about Trump, as the former president sat just feet away from him.

"You have made a career out of publicly attacking President Trump, haven't you?" Habba asked.

"Yes," Cohen said.

The heated cross-examination of Michael Cohen resumed with the state attorney general's office accusing defense lawyers of "showmanship" and the judge stepping in to referee.

Trump attorney Alina Habba accused Cohen of perjuring himself when he pleaded guilty in 2018 to criminal conduct including tax evasion, among other crimes. Cohen testified yesterday that "there was no tax evasion. At best, it could be characterized as a tax omission."

Habba said that testimony amounted to perjury. Collen Faherty, a lawyer for the state, accused Habba of "showmanship" and "a little bit of a stunt."

Habba shot back, "This is not showmanship. I'm just doing my job."

Another Trump lawyer, Chris Kise, interjected, "There is nothing wrong with calling a liar a liar. Perjury is perjury. The attorney general is trying to cover for an extraordinarily defective witness."

Judge Engoron sided with the defense but instructed Habba to not use the word "perjury," prompting Trump to shake his head.

"Yesterday was the first time you admitted in open court that you lied to Judge Pauley?" Habba asked, referring to the federal judge who took Cohen's plea.

"In open court, yes," Cohen responded.

Cushman & Wakefield executive David McArdle, who was hired to appraise the value of 71 undeveloped residential units at the Trump National Golf Club in Westchester County, New York, testified that he also conducted multiple appraisals for conservation easements at the property in 2014 and 2015.

Signing a conservation easement would allow the Trump Organization to give up their development rights and treat the difference in property value as a charitable donation, according to the New York attorney general.

By giving up the right to develop the 71 residential units, McArdle found that the donation was worth $43 million, according to an April 2014 appraisal. A later appraisal McArdle conducted in 2015 landed on a similar valuation of $45.2 million.

But Trump's financial statements from those years appear to ignore the appraisals, valuing the land from the undeveloped units at $101 million, according to documents entered into evidence.

"Based on the supporting data, the only source for the increase in the number of units and profit per unit were telephone conversations with Eric Trump," the New York attorney general alleged in her complaint.

McArdle also testified that he was consulted to appraise Seven Springs, a New York estate Trump purchased for $7.5 million in 1995.

To value the property, which could be subdivided into 24 to 26 residential lots, McArdle testified that he toured the site, consulted a local expert, and spoke with Eric Trump on multiple occasions.

"He had a very high opinion of the property, which didn't surprise me," McArdle said.

His appraisal ultimately determined the total value for the lots in 2014 was $30-$50 million, McArdle said.

But the New York attorney general alleges that appraisal was ignored in Trump's 2014 financial statement, in favor of a "false and misleading" value of $161 million for a portion of the undeveloped lots.
