Donald Trump attends week three of his New York civil fraud trial.
  • Trump's New York fraud trial, now in its third week, skidded to a brief stop Wednesday morning.
  • A Trump attorney shouted "You lied yesterday!" while cross examining a key state's witness.
  • Trump watched avidly as cross-accusations of perjury and witness-intimidation flew.

Donald Trump's civil fraud trial came to a skidding halt Wednesday morning, when his lawyers accused a witness of lying on the stand and lawyers for the attorney general's office shouted back that the witness was being intimidated.

"You lied, yesterday, didn't you?" a lawyer for Trump's side shouted at the witness, prompting five minutes of sometimes shouted cross-accusations of perjury, witness intimidation, and showboating for the press.
