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.

Donald Trump has lost his appeal to throw out the limited gag orders and associated fines in his civil fraud trial.

In a decision Thursday, New York's Appellate Division, First Department rejected Trump's request to annul and vacate the limited gag orders imposed by Judge Arthur Engoron that prohibit Trump and attorneys from commenting on the judge's staff.

In November, Trump's lawyers asked the Appellate Division to vacate the gag orders, citing a provision of New York state law to personally sue Judge Engoron. But the court said in today's ruling that the method used to appeal the gag orders was an improper application of the law.

"To the extent there may have been appealable issues with respect to any of the procedures the court implemented in imposing the financial sanctions, the proper method of review would be to move to vacate the Contempt Orders, and then to take an appeal from the denial of those motions," the ruling said, indicating that Trump should use the normal appellate process to pursue the vacating of the gag orders.

The court also determined that the "extraordinary remedy" requested by Trump's lawyers did not match the minimal potential harm from barring statements about Engoron's staff.

"Here, the gravity of potential harm is small, given that the Gag Order is narrow, limited to prohibiting solely statements regarding the court's staff," the decision said.
