Donald Trump's legal team plans to request a stay of the ongoing fraud trial, pending their appeal of Judge Engoron's partial summary judgment ruling issued last week, defense lawyer Chris Kise notified Engoron in court.

In seeking to halt the trial, the defense team said they plan to file their request tomorrow morning and wanted to provide notice to the state.

State attorneys objected that less than 24 hours' notice is not enough.

"That's clearly not sufficient," Engoron said of the notice, adding that the appellate court could deny the request due to the lack of proper notice.

A marked-up version of the Trump Organization's 2014 statement of financial condition suggests that Trump himself issued final approval for the statements, according to the document, which was entered into evidence today.

The document included a handwritten note from longtime Trump Organization Controller Jeffrey McConney saying "DJT TO GET FINAL REVIEW."

The document also included a list showing the 2013 value of Trump's properties, which McConney had crossed out to adjust to the 2014 values.

Testifying on the stand, McConney -- who joined the Trump Organization in 1987 and was responsible for Trump's financial statements between 2011 and 2017 -- testified that he worked in conjunction with accounting firm Mazars USA and Trump Organization chief financial officer Allen Weisselberg to issue the statements.

While McConney acknowledged that he wrote the note on the document, he could not provide specifics about the extent of Trump's involvement.

As the questioning of witnesses continues, Judge Engoron has issued an order outlining the next steps to dissolve Trump's companies in New York.

Engoron last week found that Trump and his adult sons used fraudulent documents to conduct business, and ordered the cancellation of his business certificates in the state. Trump appealed that ruling yesterday.

In today's order, Engoron asks the defendants to provide a list of "entities controlled or beneficially owned by Donald J. Trump" -- and the other co-defendants -- to the Hon. Barbara S. Jones, the independent monitor overseeing Trump's business activities.

Trump is also required to notify Jones of any new business applications or changes to preexisting entities.

The order also gives the parties 30 days to recommend a receiver to oversee the dissolution of Trump's corporate assets. However both parties previously suggested that they plan to recommend Jones for that position.

In the meantime, the ongoing trial is being held to determine what additional penalties Trump might face and what might happen with the multiple causes of action included in the attorney general's lawsuit.

Longtime Trump Organization controller Jeffrey McConney, a defendant in the case, has taken the stand.

McConney testified that he was responsible for Trump's statement of financial condition from 2011 until 2017, when the responsibility was passed on to another employee.

But McConney was quick to differentiate his role from that of the organization's accounting firm, Mazar's USA.

"We as the Trump Organization didn't prepare the statement," McConney said.

Unlike most witnesses who generally aren't allowed to hear other witnesses testify, McConney -- as a defendant in the case -- is entitled to be in the courtroom for the entire trial. However, today is the first time he has appeared.

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."
