[1/10] Former U.S. President Donald Trump attends the Trump Organization civil fraud trial, in New York State Supreme Court in the Manhattan borough of New York City, U.S., November 6, 2023.
You’ve made it important, but it wasn’t," Trump said of the estimates.
New York state lawyers argued in their lawsuit that the estimates misled lenders and insurers, earning him $100 million and exaggerating his wealth by $2 billion.
Trump's crowded legal calendar threatens to take him off the campaign trail for much of next year.
The trial was originally scheduled to run through early December but could wrap up sooner as the state calls its final witnesses this week.
