Former President Trump’s fraud trial ended its third day on Wednesday, which was mostly spent cross-examining the government’s first witness, an accountant who oversaw business dealings involving some of Trump’s most prime real estate properties.

The trial grew testy with the judge scolding Trump’s attorneys for dragging out the matter, which at one point was interrupted in order to force another witness to take the stand. The accountant has been on the stand since Monday and is expected to be further cross-examined when the trial convenes on Thursday.

Follow below for a recap from the courtroom in New York.

 

Judge Arthur Engoron has dismissed Trump’s civil fraud trial for the day, with the first witness in the government’s case still under cross-examination by the defense.

Thursday will begin with more cross-examination of Donald Bender, the ex-Trump accountant, which a defense attorney suggested could carry on through the morning.

Once Bender’s cross-examination is over, Trump Organization controller Jeff McConney — a defendant in the case — is expected to testify.

Defense attorneys indicated that they did not expect time for the government’s fourth witness Thursday.
