Last week, business publication Forbes wrote that longtime Trump CFO Allen Weisselberg had perjured himself during sworn testimony based on years-old emails that Weisselberg had sent the publication in which he tried to convince its reporters that Trump's apartment in Trump Tower was worth more than what they were estimating.

Now The Messenger reports that New York Attorney General Letitia James' office is requesting a "forensic examination of Trump Organization emails" between Weisselberg and Forbes to determine whether he really did lie under oath as Forbes had claimed.

On Thursday morning, MSNBC host Joe Scarborough shared a composite clip of Donald Trump first complaining that he is being forced to attend his Manhattan bank fraud trial only to tell reporters four minutes later that he was on his way out the door to attend a golf event at his Doral golf course.

During a break in the proceeding on Wednesday the former president addressed the press outside the courtroom where he launched a diatribe aimed at New York Attorney General Letitia James, whom he claimed was making him attend the trial, therefore interfering with his ability to campaign for a second term after losing in 2020.

In the clip, Trump complained, "I have to be here instead of Iowa, New Hampshire, South Carolina, lots of other great places -- they want me to be here."

Four minutes later, Trump was asked: "Will you be here tomorrow?" to which he replied, "Probably not. I have a very big professional golf tournament at Doral, so probably not."

"Perfection!" the MSNBC host laughed as co-host Mika Brezinski exclaimed, "Oh my God!"

With the MSNBC chyron reading, "Trump can't remember own lie," Brezinski added, "The brain can't hold information," as Scarborough mocked the president.

New York attorney general Letitia James slapped down Donald Trump's insulting attacks outside a courthouse where he's on civil trial for fraud, and MSNBC's Joe Scarborough said that's a sign she's holding a good hand.

The former president was admonished by Judge Arthur Engoron to keep quiet following an outburst inside the courtroom, and the "Morning Joe" host was struck by the attorney general's comments afterward.

A judge warned Donald Trump and others to keep their voices down following an outburst at his New York civil fraud trial Wednesday.

Supreme Court Justice Arthur Engoron admonished the former president after he threw up his hands in frustration and spoke aloud to his lawyers at the defense table as real estate appraiser Doug Larson testified – and prosecutor Kevin Wallace asked Trump's team to stop commenting on witness testimony, reported the Associated Press.

New York Supreme Court Justice Arthur Engoron rebuked lawyers for Donald Trump after his legal team allegedly attempted to intimidate a witness.

During his New York fraud trial, Trump was accused of talking during the testimony of appraiser Doug Larson, who testified that he didn't condone the Trump Organization's method of valuing properties.

Donald Trump bailed on his New York court hearing early Tuesday, ABC News' live blog reported – just a few hours after he hit out at former lawyer Michael Cohen for being a no-show.

Cohen had been due to give testimony in the fraud trial Tuesday, but on Friday announced he had to delay the hearing because of a medical issue.

A professional appraiser cited in five years of Trump Organization documents told the New York judge overseeing a fraud trial that he actually never evaluated several of the buildings in question, reported ABC News.

Doug Larson, who works for the real estate firm Newmark, was listed in a series of Trump Organization documents as having appraised properties like 40 Wall Street, Trump Tower, and the retail space adjoining Trump Tower known as "Niketown."

Donald Trump tested the boundaries of a gag order imposed by a judge overseeing his New York fraud trial by sharing an article that appears to show the home address of New York Attorney General Letitia James.

The former president was prohibited earlier this month from commenting publicly about court staffers by state Supreme Court Justice Arthur Engoron after Trump disparaged a clerk on Truth Social, but MeidasTouch Network noticed he shared a post by right-wing activist Laura Loomer that appeared to expose the attorney general's home address.

Former President Donald Trump was soundly fact-checked on Tuesday morning by legal reporter Adam Klasfeld following a Truth Social rant about the civil fraud case that's ongoing against himself and his adult sons in New York State.

"I will be attending the trial in Manhattan this morning," wrote Trump. "I greatly appreciate all of the legal professors and scholars that are saying I DID NOTHING WRONG. I can’t have a JURY and am being viciously tried under a Statute that has never been used before. The Radical Left Democrat Judge, WHO IS HIGHLY POLITICAL, serves as Judge, Jury, and everything else. America cannot let this happen. Our legal system is corrupt and broken! Everything emanates from Washington, 'GET TRUMP.'"

Mark Hawthorn, the chief accounting officer of the Trump Hotels division of the Trump Organization, testified at former President Donald Trump's civil fraud trial in New York that he "overstated" the value of the company's assets in 2018, reported ABC News on Monday.

According to the report, when a third-party accounting agency asked for the total amount of Trump's liquid assets, "Hawthorn said he consulted the financial statement that listed 'cash equivalents in excess of $290 million.'" But New York Attorney General Letitia James alleges that 30 percent of those liquid assets were actually owned by Vornado Partnerships, a company with whom Trump had a partnership interest but was distinct from the Trump Organization, which was not disclosed on the statement.

Patrick Birney, an assistant vice president for financial operations at the Trump Organization, delivered explosive testimony on Monday that drew a furious reaction from an attorney representing former President Donald Trump.

As reported by The Messenger's Adam Klasfeld, an attorney representing New York Attorney General Letitia James' office asked Birney whether former Trump CFO Allen Weisselberg had ever told him that Trump wanted to see his net worth on his statements of financial condition go up from year to year, to which Birney replied, "Yes."
