"It was a very sad thing, people went after him vigorously and violently because he happened to work for me," Trump says of Weisselberg. Trump says if he had never run for president "and won convincingly" Weisselberg would have just led a normal life.
Wallace is asking Trump about whether he’s planning any changes at the Trump Org. in light of the AG’s suit. Trump says there are accountants and probably lawyers who would be dealing with that.
"There will be recommendations made, and we'll be happy to let you know what those recommendations are," Trump says.
"Your honor, we have nothing further for this witness," Wallace says. Kise says they have no questions for Trump at this time.
The next and likely last witness of the AG's case will be Ivanka Trump, who will take the stand on Wednesday. NY courts are closed tomorrow for election day.
The defense is planning on moving for a mistrial.
Trump counsel Alina Habba is trying to be as delicate as possible, it's clear that such a motion is going to be in part about Justice Engoron's principal law clerk.
Last week, Justice Engoron expanded the gag order which prohibits public statements about the judge's court staff to apply to not just Trump, but the attorneys as well. So, it's a little tough to make a motion based on someone that you can't talk about.
It sounds like the judge is going to let them put something in writing.
So, we're back on Wednesday with Ivanka, whose testimony is expected to spill over into Thursday I think, after which it sounds like there will be some defense motions on the table.
Trial resumes on Wednesday at 10 am ET. Oh, and some special news, today we learned that we might wrap up this trial on Dec. 15th as opposed to the 22nd. Happy holidays everyone!
