"This is not a political rally," Donald Trump is told as he testifies in case that threatens his real estate empire.

Trump is now being asked whether the valuations of a number of his properties are accurate.

Instead of answering yes or no, Trump is giving speeches about how and why he invested in various properties.

Again the judge asks Trump’s legal team to stop the speeches.

“I beseech you to control him if you can. If you can’t, I will,” Judge Engoron says.

    Prosecutors were asking him about former Trump Organization chief financial officer Allen Weisselberg.

    Weisselberg pleaded guilty and served time for tax fraud related to his work at the Trump Organization.

    His name has been brought up frequently throughout the trial and he also testified before Michael Cohen, telling the court he knew Donald Trump was inflating the size of his Manhattan penthouse in Trump Tower.

    On the stand, Trump defended his former employee, claiming people “went after him vigorously and violently because he happened to work for me”.

    “I feel very badly about that whole situation,” he says.
