After resting her case yesterday, New York Attorney General Letitia James expressed confidence in the strength of the case on social media.

"I am confident that we will prevail on the rest of our case because the facts don't lie," James said in a video statement.

James claimed that Ivanka Trump, who testified yesterday, used her father's fraudulent statements to secure vital deals for the Trump Organization, including a Washington D.C. property that yielded the company $139 million in profit. The New York AG is expected to request that Judge Engoron order the disgorgement of those profits by fining Trump more than $300 million.

Trump, in the meantime, continued to falsely allege that the case has been directed by President Joe Biden.

"Even that stupid trial going on in New York, which has been totally discredited -- everybody's been discredited," Trump told supporters at a campaign rally in Hialeah, Florida, last night.

"It comes out of the White House," Trump said without proof of the allegation.

A day after the New York attorney general rested her case, Donald Trump's lawyers are set to make a long-shot motion for a directed verdict in the trial.

In moving for a directed verdict, Trump's lawyers will ask Judge Arthur Engoron to end the case in favor of the defendants on the grounds that the New York attorney general failed to prove liability by a preponderance of the evidence.

The defense team requested a directed verdict earlier in the trial after they argued that Trump's former lawyer Michael Cohen perjured himself on the witness stand, but Judge Engoron resoundingly shot down the request.

"Absolutely denied," Engoron said when the defense made the request based on their claim that Cohen's evidence was unreliable.

"This case has evidence, credible or not, all over the place," said Engoron. "There's enough evidence to fill this courtroom."

If Engoron similarly denies today's motion, the defense team will begin presenting its case on Monday.

New York Attorney General Letitia James expressed confidence in her case while Trump attorney Alina Habba was equally dismissive, following the adjournment of court for the day.

Speaking to reporters outside the courthouse after she rested her case, James said that Ivanka Trump's friendly courtroom demeanor should not distract from the fact she engaged in fraud.

"She clearly was involved in negotiating and securing loans, favorable loans, for the benefit of the Trump Organization for Mr. Trump, and her brothers and for herself," James said of the former president's eldest daughter.

James praised Ivanka Trump testimony, saying it was cordial, disciplined, courteous, friendly, and nice. But the New York AG said it was also inconsistent.

"Her testimony raises questions with regard to its credibility," James said, later adding, "she was enriched, and clearly you cannot distance yourself from that fact."

Exiting court minutes after James, Habba slammed the state's effort, saying, "It is very clear that they have failed to prove the essential elements of the case."

Habba went so far as to recommend that the Manhattan district attorney prosecute former Trump attorney Michael Cohen for perjury and investigate how much money was "wasted by New York on a fake, phony case."

"We have spent three years doing this, based on testimony from Michael Cohen, who walked into that courtroom, and under oath and open court admitted that he perjured himself," Habba said referring the Cohen's earlier testimony.

New York Attorney General Letitia James has rested her case against Donald Trump and his adult sons, state attorney Kevin Wallace told the court.

Judge Engoron confirmed that he will address motions for a directed verdict -- as well as motions regarding the defense's expert testimony -- during a half day of court tomorrow.

"We don't have any witnesses for tomorrow," Trump attorney Chris Kise told the judge.

The defense's case is expected to start in earnest on Monday.

Doug Larson's name appears across five years of Donald Trump's financial documents, according to records entered into evidence.

A longtime professional appraiser with the real estate firm Cushman & Wakefield, Larson was cited in Trump Organization documents as an expert at valuing properties like 40 Wall Street, Trump Tower, and an adjoining retail space called "Niketown." Spreadsheets entered as evidence explicitly reference multiple phone calls with Larson between 2013 and 2017.

When asked about these phone calls in court, Larson testified that no such conversations occurred.

"Is it fair to say that Mr. Trump valued Trump Tower at $526 million in conjunction with you?" state attorney Mark Ladov asked Larson.

"No, that is incorrect," Larson said.

"Were you aware that Mr. McConney was citing you as a valuation source in his work papers?" Ladov asked.

"No, I was not," replied Larson, who said he did not assist Trump Organization executives in valuing Trump Tower, Niketown, or 40 Wall Street, despite Trump's paperwork referencing him as a source.

Evidence presented by the state instead suggested that the valuations were determined using cherry-picked metrics from a generic email Larson sent clients.

"It's a way to get your name out to clients for potential work," Larson said about one such "email blast" that was used in a Trump Tower valuation.

Larson added that the valuations Trump Organization executives determined based on "consultation" with him used flawed methodologies, such as using capitalization rates related to office buildings to appraise the retail Niketown building.

"It doesn't make sense," Larson said about Niketown's $287 million valuation.

"It's inappropriate and inaccurate," Larson said about the Trump Organization relying on his name to support their valuations. "I should have been told, and appraisals should have been ordered."
