Donald Trump’s attorney briefly derailed his high-profile civil fraud trial on Wednesday by suggesting that a real estate executive committed perjury after he delivered damaging testimony against the former president.
A day earlier, real estate executive Douglas Larson all but accused the Trump Organization of fabricating his advice about a capitalization rate on the former president’s 40 Wall Street property to arrive at a sky-high $735 million figure.
But emails introduced by the defense on Wednesday showed Larson in direct communication with the company’s controller, Jeffrey McConney.
