This is the best summary I could come up with:

New York Attorney General Letitia James was seen cracking up during former President Donald Trump's testimony, according to reporters in the courtroom.

The former president has denied all wrongdoing and claims that all of his legal woes are due to a political "witch hunt" against him as he campaigns in the 2024 presidential election.

Trump, who has previously blasted James on his Truth Social platform, calling her "corrupt and racist," lashed out at the attorney general while on the stand, prompting her to laugh at one of his comments, according to reporters who were in the courtroom on Monday.

Adam Klasfeld, a senior legal correspondent for news outlet The Messenger, said in a post on X, formerly Twitter, that after Trump claimed James didn't "even know what 40 Wall Street is," the attorney general was seen cracking up in response.

New York Daily News staff reporter Molly Crane-Newman, who was also in the courtroom, noted in a post on X that James' NYC office is "right next door" to 40 Wall Street.

"This morning, Donald Trump resorted to bullying and name-calling, he gave rambling answers and hurled insults from the witness stand to distract from the truth," the attorney general posted.
