Legal team worried Trump could be 'pinned down' on Mar-a-Lago value at testimony: report

Lawyers for Donald Trump are preparing for the fallout if their client is "pinned down" on his asset valuations during testimony on Monday.

Guardian correspondent Hugo Lowell told MSNBC host Alex Witt that the Trump team was concerned about their client's testimony in a $250 million fraud trial in New York.

"You know, his lawyers, I think, are concerned about two big things," Lowell revealed. "One is the valuations. You know, we saw Eric Trump last week get tripped up a little bit on the valuations of properties like Mar-a-Lago."

POLL: Should Trump be allowed to run for office?

"Is it a private club, or is it a private residence?" he continued. "Because if it's a residence, then Trump has been valuing that at a far greater figure than if it was a private club, a members club, which he was representing to the tax authorities in the town of Palm Beach. And he was saying, well, then I get a tax break on that side."

Lowell expected Trump "to be pinned down on if it's one or the other."

"And his lawyers are a little concerned about how that might come up because he's got a lot of public testimony beforehand," he said.
