Good morning from New York.

Overnight in Trump's civil fraud case, a flurry of new filings hit the docket. Among them, Ivanka Trump—who's on the state's witness list—wants to quash her subpoena. An appeals court dismissed her from the case.

Follow us live, @TheMessenger. "Trial subpoenas are not a means for parties to get discovery, which they failed to obtain during pretrial proceedings. The NYAG, which never deposed Ms. Trump, is effectively trying to force her back into this case from which she was dismissed by a unanimous decision of the Appellate Division, First Department. Ms. Trump is not a party in this action. Nor is Ms. Trump a New York resident. It is black-letter law that, given those two facts, Ms. Trump is beyond the jurisdiction of this Court."
The first headline to emerge today was fast — and certainly, furious.

"Judge Chastises Trump For ‘Blatant Violation of the Gag Order’ on His Clerk, Raises Possible Penalties Including Fines or Jail" 🔗

"Ivanka Trump Tries to Quash Subpoena to Avoid Testifying in New York Civil Fraud Trial" 🔗 themessenger.com/politics/ivank…
The last witness, appraiser David McArdle, quickly wrapped up his testimony after all the hoopla of the morning.

Up now:

Raymond Flores, a VP of Acquisitions and Development at the Trump Organization
Flores is testifying about Eric Trump's interest in various issues pertaining to Trump National Golf Club Westchester, including membership deposits and liabilities.

The prior witness's testimony tread similar ground.
Morning recess. Back soon

BREAKING

"Judge Chastises Trump For ‘Blatant Violation of Gag Order’ on His Clerk, Raises Possible Penalties Including Fines or Jail," @TheMessenger

themessenger.com/politics/trump…
The judge took the matter "under advisement."
UPDATE:

After the recess, Trump's lawyer Christopher Kise rattled off data on the reach his client's smears of the clerk had via campaign emails and website.

In short, it was sent widely — but far fewer of his supporters actually paid attention. 🔗 themessenger.com/politics/trump…
Later in the morning, Trump's lawyers provided context about the campaign website's reach. Trump's campaign sent emails to roughly 25,000 recipients, and an estimated 6,713 of those messages were opened, according to Kise. Since the imposition of the gag order on Oct. 3, the campaign website kept the court-barred post up for 17 days until late on Thursday. During that time, the page had some 114 million total viewers, but only 3,701 unique views, Kise said. The latter number includes the email recipients who clicked through to the link.

Good morning from New York.

Trump isn't expected to be here today as Allen Weisselberg's son returns to the stand, showing how Trump Org's relationship with Ladder Capital seemed to be a family affair.

ICYMI, NYAG turned up the heat on his dad. 🔗 themessenger.com/politics/forbe…
The parties began proceedings today with a "front-bar," the judge's neologism of a sidebar given the logistics of this courtroom, which makes going to the side unwieldy.

Obviously, we can't hear the details, but it sounds pretty contentious, if muffled.
Meanwhile, catch up on Jack Weisselberg's testimony so far in this Wednesday recap.

We're back for the afternoon session in People v. Trump

Before the break, witness Doug Larson, ex-executive director of Cushman & Wakefield, was shown this notation on the data supporting Trump's 2016 statement of financial condition.

Larson testified this never happened. Image
Larson is now being cross-examined by Trump's counsel, who shows him a transcript of his interview by the NYAG's office.

"It’s not my valuation, yes. It could be his valuation or Trump’s valuation but it’s not my valuation," Larson said at the time.
On cross-ex, Trump's attorney Lazaro P. Fields has shown the witness documents meant to support his client's rosy appraisal of 40 Wall St. that year at $735M+, insisting valuations are an "art" rather than a "science."

Larson pushed back at that analogy.

Good morning from New York.

Trump is going to be back in court for his civil fraud trial today, and with him, heightened security and press interest.

We’re continuing to cover the proceedings live, @TheMessenger.

ICYMI, reporter’s notebook last weekend themessenger.com/politics/donal…
A few notes on Trump's message before court this morning:

* Trump still can, and does, attack the judge under the gag order shielding court staff

* Executive Law 63(12) has, in fact, "been used before"—at least half a dozen times in the last few years

* Scholars aren't named Image
