A prominent NYU accounting professor who is being paid to testify in Donald Trump's defense in a civil fraud trial heaped praise on the former president's financial records.

Her answers, and the documents displayed to her on the stand, show she was deeply aware of the importance of his net worth in securing the best terms on loans.

Trump acknowledged he had a hand in preparing the financial statements that valued his properties.

He testified that financial documents sent to Deutsche Bank were "accurate," even though a judge has already determined they were fraudulent.

"I relied upon Mazars and our accounting team" for the preparation of a financial statement, Donald Trump Jr. told the judge. "That's why we have accountants."
