#Trump lawyer #AlinaHabba objects to the questioning, which she says is leading.

#AndrewAmer, lawyer for the NYAG, calls #McConney a hostile witness. #Habba says he is not a hostile witness & #Engoron wryly says, "he is the defendant." The objection is overruled.

FYI McConney was deemed a #HostileWitness in the #criminal #TaxFraud case last November as well.

#AndrewAmer of the AG’s office insisted they’re entitled to 24hr notice & the notice they provided — which doesn’t reveal the #scope — is defective. “It is not a question of satisfying me, but satisfying the rule.”

#McConney returned to the stand.
#Amer asked McConney about the price of #Trump's triplex —at one point valued at $180M.
Amer showed McConney a 2012 email he sent to a Trump International Realty employee asking about square footage & the price of another apt to inform his assessment.

A #lawyer for the AG, #AndrewAmer, pointed out what was clear from early on:

#Arguments by Trump’s attys do not seem to have been affected by the judge’s #ruling last week. They are again making arguments that have been rejected, hoping for a better result if & when the case reaches an #appeals court.

Lunch break.

As he left the courtroom, #Trump glared at AG #LetitiaJames as he passed her. He was followed by #EricTrump, who addressed James & shook her hand.

Due back at 2:15PM ET.
