the very latest, first of all, i heard you talking with lindsey reiser about the judge wishing kevin wallacethday. i shared that with our viewers on twitter. i was then very swiftly reminded that angora loves birthdays. so there are folks close to the attorney general's office who very much want us to know that angoran is not in the can for them, least doing his best to see the facts. right before the break, the person on the stand right now, cameron harris was the successor accountant to donald bender. this is an accommodation to mr. harris's schedule. but mr. harris has given testimony that's along the same lines as bender, saying that an accountant's role in compiling statements is a limited one. most importantly for our viewers' purposes, it doesn't involve verifying the accuracy of the numbers given by a client, and expressing an opinion or assurance about the accuracy of the numbers. that's an important fact for the attorney general to bring out. the trump people want the judge to think they should have been entitled to rely on their certified public accountants, and the accountants ar

attorney kevin wallace told the judge they were lying year after year after year.chael cohen said in a deposition in court that he and former trump organization cfo allen weisselberg were tasked with inflating assets to obtain the number that trump wanted. >> let's say he would say he is worth $6 billion. well, he wanted to be higher on the forbes list. and he then said i'm actually not worth 6 billion, and worth seven, in fact, i think it's actually now worth eight. >> reporter: trump attorney chris kies called trump a serial liar and everyone has a different opinion as to valuation. the former president called the trial rigged and a witch hunt days after the judge ruled he had committed fraud. >> what we have here is an attempt to hurt me in an election. >> reporter: i was inside the courtroom sitting just steps behind the former president and tensions were high. the attorney general sat in the first row, she watched trump's every move, and at one point he glared at her as he left the room. this is a dramatic scene unfolding as trump tries to protect the company

kevin wallace from the attorney—general team saying, you know, look, we saw donald trump's team wanting on the forbes billionaire list. that was his goal. he said it was one thing to exaggerate to forbes commits another to examine certain... —— exaggerated bile that back while doing business in new york. we saw one of his legal spokespeople speak in court, even telling thejudge spokespeople speak in court, even telling the judge that this was politically motivated. she was shot down. thejudge politically motivated. she was shot down. the judge said that that had already been argued. but she contends of the other donald trump lawyers contending that this is just them doing business in new york and that they never intended to defraud anything. ihis that they never intended to defraud an hint. , ., anything. his team actually initially tried _ anything. his team actually initially tried to _ anything. his team actually initially tried to sort - anything. his team actually initially tried to sort of - anything. his team actually l initially tried to sort of delay this case, didn't they? and

statements from the new york state attorney general, their attorney is laying out essentially, kevin wallacer team laying out what else this trial will pack. as we know, the heart of this case was decided last week when a judge determined that donald trump did, fraud. but he says they will be looking at the six other claims, including falsifying business records, insurance fraud. so he is outlining what those six claims will be in these opening statements. but this trial is still significant because we are looking at whether the new york state attorney general will be able to prove the rest of her claims i get that $250 million penalty that she is looking for along with potentially other sanctions. —— and get. she also wants to bar donald trump and his two sons from ever doing business in new york again. so thatis doing business in new york again. so that is what is at stake here in this trial. but also beyond that, we still haven't heard from the judge the key questions around what will happen to donald trump's assets that he has order to be dissolved. will he has order to be dissolved. wil

. >> reporter: trump's former accountant donald bender continued to testify as kevin wallace, a lawyer for the attorney general methodically reviewed accounting engagement letters for 2012 through 2020, making the point that it was up to the trump organization to provide accurate data to accounting for its annual financial statements. bender later testified he learned the trump organization withheld aprayles from his firm. had he known that they would have not compiled financial statements. during a break trump confirmed he tends to testify in his own defense. his name had been on the trial's witness list. >> mr. trump, will you be testifying? >> yes, he will. at the appropriate timely be. >>> police in baltimore, maryland say five people have been shot on the campus of morgan state university. in a news conference earlier, officials said four of the victims are students at the school. all five are expected to survive. a shelter in place order has been lifted, even though police say they're still searching for the shooter. baltimore's mayor says the shooting should be a wake-up call fo

kevin wallace, an attorney for the new york ag told the court about the office's end goal to bar trumping business in new york. wallace argued while it may be one thing to exaggerate for forbes magazine, you cannot do it while conducting business in the state of new york. but trump's lawyers pushed back, saying that there was no intent to defraud and, quote, no victims. inside and outside the court, trump's attorneys claim the case is flawed and defended his business records and financial statements. >> president trump's assets are worth way more than what the court would have you believe. but this is all about 2024. do not get it confused. >> reporter: but the $250 million lawsuit alleges trump and his co-defendants committed repeated fraud, inflating assets on financial statements to get better terms on commercial real estate loans and insurance policies. allegations that james said cannot go unchecked. >> my message is simple, no matter how powerful you are, no matter how much money you think you may have, no one is above the law. >> reporter: and the state will continue to try to p

kevin wallace says that the rest of the claims in this case have to look at intent.f this case was decided that donald trump did commit fraud in those financial statements. but they are now going to look to things like michael cohen, donald trump's former lawyer and fixer. they played a video of him in court in which he talked about how donald trump wanted to be on the forbes billionaires list and that theirjob, him and the cfo, theirjob was to reverse engineer theirjob was to reverse engineer the value of donald trump's assets to arrive at the figure that donald trump wanted. so they are saying that this just proves that this is all part of a conspiracy to defraud donald trump while he was watching that video of michael cohen, was shaking his head. and then we heard from donald trump's lawyer, he says that it from donald trump's lawyer, he says thatitis from donald trump's lawyer, he says that it is a commonplace in the real estate market that buyers and sellers have different evaluations. he says that the banks themselves need their own due diligence and that deuts

that's a man named kevin wallace, a white guy.trump ain't got no smoke for the white guy who's actually standing up every day and calling him a crook. he's only got smoke for tish james, who at this point could sit in the courtroom eating a bag of popcorn because he work is largely done. so that's number one. number two, he's calling her a racist. we know the political implications of that. but i just want to say very clearly, there is no evidence at all that tish james is racist against orange people. there is no evidence that she is only prosecuting trump because he is orange. there was only evidence that she is prosecuting trump because he committed fraud. again, if trump wants to say that there are other orange people in new york city that have committed fraud, he is welcome to turn state's evidence and tell us. >> ellie mistal, thank you for joining us on "the beat." >>> coming up, we'll explain what trump and george santos have in common when it comes to the gop speaker meltdown. >>> rudy and the mypillow guy paying the pric

i thought kevin wallace did a really great job of just explaining how donald trump and his family and others basically reverse engineered the value of individual asset like trump tower and 40 wall street to arrive at the president's trying to get to a certain level of net worth, and i think the general point, katie, of what happened today is karma catching up on donald trump. donald trump has evaded legal process for so long like a pro, but it's basically catching up on him. i mean, ari is not here, so i can go outside of hip-hop quote the great legal scholar taylor swift, karma's going to track you down step by step from town to town and that's what we're seeing here in the very first, you know, formal trial beginning against donald trump. >> so, maya i want to get your take. you've dealt with civil cases like this. this is a civil fraud trial and because it's not a criminal case, do you think it was okay for the prosecution to take this particular approach for opening statements and reiterating and reinforcing to justice engoron something that he's pretty much found in terms of liab

the judge wished a very happy birthday to kevin wallace on the ag team, and, you know, it was interestingoverflow room, some of them groaned because of these accusations that the judge is facing, however, it is known among the legal circles that the judge is very into birthdays. he has mentioned members of the trump team's birthday. someone has a birthday on december 23rd. they want to make sure they're done with the case. the judge has said himself, jovial, he takes his job seriously. he doesn't seem to have been changing his behavior as a result of the scrutiny he's under. >> blayne, sidney powell's attorneys are inside, and they're arguing for the case to get dismissed entirely, what are they saying? >> reporter: well, katy, that hearing just wrapped up within the past couple of minutes or so, but after about 90 minutes, it certainly appears the judge is not inclined to dismiss those charges. he seemed to lean that way towards the end of the hearing. d.a. fani willis's team is engaged in prosecutorial misconduct. she had nothing to do with the data breach in coffee county, and for that

in fact, we're told that should be kevin wallace. why do you think she's there? >> how important this case is to the attorney general's office, and as she would say, to the state of new york. you'll often see that. d.a.s will show up if it's a very big, important case. i'm sure alvin bragg when the hush money case is tried, he'll be in the audience. that's the same reason why the attorney general is there. it's also to give support to the attorneys in her office. she's standing there. she's making it clear that this was her decision, she brought this case, and if mr. trump is going to trash attorneys, her way is, trash me, i'm the elected official here. it's a statement of how important she views this case. >> of course, she has been the target of many trump attacks including when he was making the remarks right before this calling her a racist. >> all black prosecutors are racist according to donald trump. >> what are your thoughts about that and how she's endured these attacks? >> she's just letting it go. this is what trump does. what people don't know about l

according to our nbc news colleagues inside the courtroom, a lawyer inside james' office, kevin wallaceggest that had while it may be one thing to exaggerate the size of stuff, the forbes magazine or on tv in front of viewers, quote, you cannot do it while conducting business in the state of new york. here is the attorney general's message on that this morning. >> my message is simple, no matter how powerful you are, no matter how much money you think you may have, no one is above the law. and it is my responsibility and my duty and my job to enforce it. the law is both powerful and fragile and today in court we will prove our case. i thank you all for being here and, again, justice will prevail. >> now, trump's defense lawyers made polar opposite arguments saying there was no intent to defraud, period, the end, period. we understand donald trump tapped his feet and fidget fidgeted as he listened to today's proceedings. when they broke for lunch at which point he tried to stare her down when he walked by. a deeper dive into today's developments and what they could portend in just a seco

a gentleman named kevin wallace is expected to present for the attorney general's office.sident trump, the $3 million man from florida now become involved in this case, if and when trump does testify it will be because likely the attorney general called him as a witness and we will likely see him toward the end of the not the beginning mika. >> couple of questions, number one, et appears the judge came to his decision amidst a lot of frustration because of the trump team trying to slow things down, trying to really bog down the entire process. do you think the judge will make any moves about process moving forward going faster. that's number one. and also this receiver that's been put in place. what do you think the initial right now today consequences on trump's empire will be, if any? >> well, let's start with the consequences for trump's empire because many read last week's decision as a sign that the trump empire will ultimately be desolved. mika, that's not a dissuggestion that the judge made yet. at friday's pretrial conference he emphasized to the parties that that'
