A report issued Friday by the former judge appointed to serve as the Trump Organization's independent monitor by Judge Arthur Engoron found that the company has been cooperative, implemented some changes, and issued necessary corrections to financial statements; however, the report also outlined multiple errors and misstatements observed by the monitor over her 14 months in the role.

The report, by independent monitor Barbara Jones, was issued at the request of Judge Engoron ahead of his expected ruling in Trump's civil fraud trial.

"It is important to note that the Trump Organization acknowledged the disclosure issues described after I brought them to its attention and has been open to recommendations to improve accuracy and transparency," Jones wrote in her report.

However, Jones wrote, "Absent steps to address the items above, my observations suggest misstatements and errors may continue to occur, which could result in incorrect or inaccurate reporting of financial information to third parties."

A day after New York Attorney General Letitia James cited a ruling involving "Pharma Bro" Martin Shkreli to support a lifetime real estate ban for Donald Trump, a defense lawyer responded in a letter to the court calling the comparison "misplaced and irresponsible."

The New York AG said Tuesday that a federal appeals court decision upholding a lifetime industry ban for Shkreli should convince Judge Arthur Engoron to impose a lifetime real estate ban on Trump.

Defense attorney Clifford Robert, in response, wrote Wednesday that "the absurdity of the Attorney General's latest effort would be almost comical but for the sobering future consequences of her shameless abuse of power."

Robert argued that Trump's fraud case lacks witnesses, complaints, and victims compared to Shkreli's case.

In a statement to ABC News, Trump attorney Chris Kise said the ruling in Trump's case could have far-reaching implications for the New York business community.

"This is not just about President Trump. Every major bank CEO and every Wall Street participant should speak out now before the Attorney General's shocking and tyrannical interference in the capital markets places all New York business transactions at risk," Kise said.

The New York attorney general's office says a federal appeals court decision upholding a lifetime industry ban for disgraced "Pharma Bro" Martin Shkreli should convince Judge Arthur Engoron to impose a lifetime real estate ban on Donald Trump.

In a letter to Judge Engoron, state attorney Colleen Faherty cited Tuesday's decision in the Shkreli case to justify the NY AG's request to ban the former president from the New York real estate industry for life.

According to Faherty, New York State Executive Law 63(12) -- which was used in the NY AG's lawsuits against both Trump and Shkreli -- gives the court the ability to "issue a permanent and plenary ban in a particular industry."

"63(12) is the Swiss Army knife of the AG's Office," said Tristan Snell, a former lawyer with the New York attorney General's office who used the law to sue Trump over the now-defunct real estate seminar called Trump University. "If you don't have laws like this in place, that you basically allow lies and misrepresentations to be endemic."

A final decision in Trump's civil fraud case is expected later this month.

New York Attorney General Letitia James on Friday released video of former President Trump's April 2023 deposition in the case.

Video of the deposition, the transcript of which was released by the attorney general in August 2023, was released as part of a public records request.

As ABC News reported in August, Trump in the deposition called his real estate portfolio "the Mona Lisa of properties" and suggested his assets were worth far more than what appeared in his statements of financial condition that are at the center of the New York AG's case.

The videotaped deposition proved to be a preview of Trump's testimony at trial earlier this month, in which he bragged about his finances and declared himself "an innocent man."

Donald Trump, in 2014, valued his Los Angeles golf club at over $100 million more than the amount it was appraised at, according to evidence shown in court.

Trump's former tax attorney, Sheri Dillon, testified that when working on a conservation easement for the driving range at Trump National Golf Club in Los Angeles in 2014, she received an appraisal that valued the entire club at $107 million.

However, the spreadsheet used to create Trump's financial statements placed the value of the golf club at $213 million that same year, according to documents entered into evidence.

Shown the document during her testimony, Dillion said she was unfamiliar with it.

"I have never seen this document. I don't even know what this is," she said when she was shown the spreadsheet, which Trump Organization controller Jeffrey McConney previously testified he maintained.

When state attorney Louis Solomon attempted to highlight the alleged overvaluation, their exchange grew combative.

"We have the right to treat her as a hostile witness," Solomon said -- a request that was granted by Judge Engoron.

"Did you ever discuss with anyone at the Trump Organization the valuation of [the golf club]?" Solomon asked Dillon at one point.

"I don't recall. Over the years, I am sure it came up at some point," Dillon said, though she could not recall if she directly discussed it with then-Trump Organization CFO Allen Weisselberg.

Court was subsequently adjourned for the day, with Dillon's testimony scheduled to resume tomorrow morning.
