1/ I'm inside the New York City courthouse where Donald Trump is slated to testify this morning.

He will be under the watch of a judge who has already found him liable for fraud and untrustworthy on the witness stand.

Follow along for a play-by-play. forbes.com/sites/danalexa…
2/ First observation: There are far more people here today than we've seen in the last several weeks. The courtroom is packed. Same with the overflow room, which generally has only a handful of people. Same with a 2nd overflow room, where I'm watching.
3/ The attorney general's team arrived a little while ago, climbing up the steps for a monumental day. Trump is at the defense table in the courtroom, wearing what has become something of a uniform for him this trial--blue tie on blue shirt on dark suit. Image
4/ Donald Trump has been on the witness stand for only a short amount of time this morning, and he already appears to be lying. More below.

forbes.com/sites/danalexa…
5/ The judge has lost patience with the former president. "Mr. Kise," the judge says to Trump's lawyer, "can you control your client?"
6/ Trump appears to be lying from the witness stand once again. See below for live fact-checking. forbes.com/sites/danalexa…
7/ Trump is now completely unleashed. “You knew nothing about me!” he yells at the judge. “You believed this political hack back there,” referring to the attorney general. Full play-by-play below. forbes.com/sites/danalexa…
8/ The attorney general's office now is now digging into this story, which I wrote a year ago. The article is up on the screen, and the AG's office is hammering Trump on lies that the story exposed: forbes.com/sites/danalexa…
9/ The attorney general's office is now playing audio that we released in the story. Trump's lawyer says that he cannot hear it clearly. If he--or anyone--want to listen to Trump telling these lies, it's embedded in the story below. forbes.com/sites/danalexa…
10/ The court room refills after a lunch recess. Trump walks in with his legal team, striding past the attorney general, who is watching from the first row, where she normally sits. Court should be back in session any minute. Expect the fireworks to continue flying.
11/ Donald Trump steps down from the witness stand, where he made several statements--under oath--that do not appear to be true. More below: forbes.com/sites/danalexa…

1/ I’m back in Lower Manhattan, where Donald Trump and his associates are facing fraud allegations. Eric Trump returns to the stand this morning after tense testimony yesterday.

Read along for updates, and follow a blow-by-blow account at the link below. forbes.com/sites/danalexa…
2/ Eric strolls into the courtroom, wearing a dark suit and blue tie. He stands at the defense table, with his hands in his pockets. The attorney general is here as well, seated in her usual front-row spot. When the judge arrives in about 5 minutes, things should start rolling.
3/ "All rise!" Judge Engoron walks in and scampers up to his perch, as he usually does. "As the day goes on, I go slower and slower," he jokes.

1/ I’m back at the courthouse in Lower Manhattan for Donald Trump’s fraud case.

His two oldest sons, Eric and Don Jr., are both expected to testify today. The security lines are longer than anything I’ve seen yet.

Should be an exciting day. Follow along for updates. Image
2/ Donald Trump Jr. enters the courtroom, wearing a Navy blue suit, pink shirt and light blue tie. Like yesterday, he has his hair slicked back and is sporting a beard.

Follow along for more complete updates here: forbes.com/sites/danalexa…
3/ Don Jr. steps down from the witness stand, puts his hands in his pockets and walks out of the courtroom. Cameras flash when the doors open.

Eric Trump is expected to show up next. Donald Trump, their father, has not showed here to watch his sons testify so far.

1/ I’m at the court house in Lower Manhattan on this cold, gray day, when Donald Trump Jr. is expected to take the witness stand in his father’s fraud case. Image
2/ Before Don Jr., we’ll see 2 others on the stand. “Witness entering!” an officer yells out. In walks David Orowitz, a former Trump employee, who was involved in the bid to secure a lease to Washington DC’s Old Post Office, which Trump spent more than $200M turning into a hotel.
3/ Now we are looking at a 2016 email related to Doral, Trump’s golf resort in Miami. Orowitz, the former Trump employee, says the Trump Organization was seeking extra financing from Deutsche Bank in 2016–while he was running for president.

1/ I’m in New York City, where Donald Trump is facing fraud allegations. Also here: Michael Cohen, the tycoon’s former lawyer and current nemesis, who recently climbed the steps to enter the court house.

Follow along here for a play-by-play of what unfolds inside today. Image
2/ "All rise!" The judge enters the courtroom. Trump strolls in afterward, wearing a blue suit and blue tie, a similar outfit to one he has worn on other days in this trial. His son, Eric, is here, too, sitting in the front row of the gallery, over his father's left shoulder.
3/ In come the photographers, walking like they've got somewhere to be. No strolling in this crowd. They line up in front of the former president and aim their lenses. Shutters click away, before they head back to the door, stopping for shots of the attorney general as they exit.

1/ I’m back in Lower Manhattan, where Donald Trump is on trial for alleged fraud. Michael Cohen, his former attorney, is expected to show up 10 a.m.

Should be an interesting day. Follow along here for updates.
2/ Donald Trump walks into the court room, rocking a blue suit and a more casual stride this morning. "All rise!" the judge enters and takes his seat at the front of the room. A crowd of photographers come next and square up to the former president.
3/ Trump's lawyer stands up and expresses frustration about alleged Covid-19 exposure, saying that 4 members of the attorney general's team tested positive. He accuses the AG's team of forging ahead with the trial despite health risks. "Frankly, it's irresponsible."

1/ I’m at the court house in Manhattan again this morning to watch the New York attorney general’s fraud case against Donald Trump.

Also in attendance: the former president. Follow along here for updates all day.
2/ Doug Larson, who valued Trump's 40 Wall Street, is fielding questions from Trump's team about appraisals he conducted on the property. Trump valued it even higher than those appraisals--but Larson's numbers were already too high. Let's do some math.
3/ The net operating income that Larson used to calculate the value of 40 Wall Street in 2015 was about $23 million, he is testifying. But SEC documents say that the actual NOI at the time was lower than that. Image
