So let's talk about one thing that the press hasn't reported. We just listened to testimony from a man who has such distinct recognitions as an accounting expert that even Letitia James's team and the OAG's team used him themselves as an accounting expert. Professor Bartov was the New York Attorney General's expert in the Exxon case. Let's start there. But today, when he was on the other side, they spent the entire day objecting because he was giving testimony that didn't suit their claims. His testimony included that there was absolutely, and I quote, no fraud, that the statement of financial condition for President Trump was understated, that there was no evidence of concealment, and that in fact, President Trump's statements of financial condition had something that most other statements of financial condition don't have, 18 pages of descriptions and details about his properties, about his trophy assets, things that most people don't need to do and wouldn't do. The reason, because he had nothing to hide and he didn't conceal anything. This is not a publicly traded company. This is a private company. And the Attorney General is now sticking her nose into private companies. This is a very scary moment for our country. We have to have boundaries. We have to have laws. They were objecting every five minutes, and I really give credit today to the press that was in there. I did look at some of the feed, and it was accurate. There was absolutely no fraud. The statements were undervalued, and President Trump and the Trump organization provided Deutsche Bank with everything they needed. Last week, we heard banks make clear that they thought they were a trophy client. They were the big whale that they wanted to get, and they valued their relationship. They said that holds true today. I don't know why we're here. I've said it before, and I say it again. Again, this case has absolutely no merit, and you don't have to believe me. A man that gives the Nobel Executive Committee recommendations on accounting, and who should be recognized in accounting, that man that just sat in there for the entire day, made it very clear, and had words with the AG and said, "You should be ashamed of yourself," and I say it too. "You should be ashamed of yourself." Thank you. I'm not going to speak about privileged information. At this time, the president is looking forward to taking the stand and once again making clear that he cooperated, he performed on his loans, they were paid ahead of schedule in some instances, always on time, and he was never in default. But somehow, Ms. James needs to fulfill her political promise, so we're here, and he'll be addressing all of that on Monday. Don't forget, though. What's going on on Monday with the judge's gag order still in place, so he can't speak about certain things. He has to be so careful. That is so unconstitutional, in my opinion. We have First Amendment rights, we have rights as attorneys, Sixth Amendment rights, and those are all being violated. And he still wants to take the stand, even though my advice is, at this point, you should never take the stand with a gag order, but he is so firmly against what is happening in this court and so firmly for the old America that we know, not this America, that he will take that stand on Monday. What can we expect on Monday? The same as we've heard, the same as we've heard from experts. He will clarify it. He will open himself up to whatever they want, because he's not afraid. People that are afraid cower. President Trump doesn't cower. We'll be back on Monday. With that, and tomorrow, we'll hear more testimony from this incredibly intelligent man. What is your policy's reaction to the testimony today? I think he made it clear. It's more frustration that we have wasted time, that they are doing election interference. This is a tactic that we've seen time and time again. This is not the first or last of it, and we're going to have to deal with it in all the other trials. But I really hope this is a lesson to those other AGs and DA's out there, trying to make a name for themselves off of President Trump's back. If you're going to do it with garbage claims, it's going to come out, because there are experts willing to put their heads out, willing to put their necks out, and willing to say that this is garbage. And we heard that today the entire day, and we will hear that well into tomorrow. I don't speak about politics. I'm a lawyer. But with all the cases that are stacked against him, we still feel confident about one day of the outcome of this case, and everything that is. The outcome of this case was determined before we walked into court. Let's be clear. We're not walking into this court every day expecting that this judge is going to let us off. We already see what's happened in this court. This judge made his determination on summary judgment before we even walked in before an expert took the stand. So let's not get it twisted. I'm not here fighting for that. I'm here fighting for America with him, so that we can stop this. You know, that's the truth of it, and it's a very sad state of affairs today, and many days we've asked for a directed verdict because there is no case. This case is garbage. Thank you.
