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

Former president Donald Trump was asked about his responsibility in preparing a 2014 statement of financial condition — which the former president said he did bear responsibility with regards to providing information. "Getting them information, yes," he testified.

Trump then added that if his accounting firm, Mazars, "had a problem with it, they wouldn’t have done the statement."

The New York attorney general's attorney questioned Trump on his responsibility for the statements based on this caveat in the statement: "Donald J. Trump is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statement in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and for designing, implementing, and maintaining internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statement."

This line of questioning was interrupted when the judge had to engage with Trump and again ask him to answer the questions.

Trump went on to say he would tell anyone at Trump Organization to give information to Mazars when they asked for information to complete the statement of financial condition, but "principally" he said, former Trump Org. CFO Allen Weisselberg and ex-Trump Org. executive Jeff McConney took care of it.
