The former US president calls trial "ridiculous" as he testifies in case that threatens his real estate empire.

Trump is now being asked whether the valuations of a number of his properties are accurate.

Instead of answering yes or no, Trump is giving speeches about how and why he invested in various properties.

Again the judge asks Trump’s legal team to stop the speeches.

“I beseech you to control him if you can. If you can’t, I will,” Judge Engoron says.

    Trump attorney Christopher Kise has just said that he may want to mention information barred by the gag order in a motion for a mistrial.

    Alina Habba, another Trump lawyer, seems to confirm the team will make the motion and says they want to reference communications between Engoron and his law clerk.

    The judge says he’ll allow Trump’s team to make that motion in writing.

    “See, I knew there’d be a love fest,” Engoron concludes.
