Irrelevant

Judge interrupts Trump's "irrelevant" answer to questions about Scotland golf course valuation

From CNN's Lauren del Valle, Kara Scannell and Jeremy Herb in New York

As testimony began centering on the valuation of Donald Trump’s golf course in Aberdeen, Scotland — Trump lobbed an answer that Judge Arthur Engoron audibly deemed “irrelevant” to the question.

The New York assistant attorney general asked Trump if the description in his 2014 financial statement was accurate for the property — which followed by Trump touting Aberdeen as a oil capitol making the property more valuable.

“Irrelevant, irrelevant, answer the question," Engoron said speaking over Trump, one of the few times that's happened since returning from the break.

Trump also used the opportunity to boast about the course.

"I think it’s the greatest golf course ever built," Trump said. "It’s one of the greatest pieces of land I’ve ever seen."

As Trump gave a long-winded answer about the beauty of the course, Engoron said he would be following the assistant attorney general's lead: "If you want to let the witness ramble on, non responsive, repeat himself."

The assistant attorney general was trying, unsuccessfully, to get Trump to acknowledge a discrepancy on the number of properties that could be built in Aberdeen.

"It’s sort of like a painting. You can do pretty much what you want to do. The land is there and you can do what you want to do," Trump said.
