Donald Trump leaves a Manhattan courtroom after giving all-day testimony in his civil fraud trial.
  • Trump's expert accountant testified over the course of three days in the NY civil fraud trial.
  • He said accountants bear final responsibility for the net-worth statements Trump's on the hook for.
  • When asked, the key defense witness could not estimate how much Trump is paying for his testimony.

In three days of testimony, Donald Trump's top accounting expert at his New York civil fraud trial was stumped by just one single, simple math question.

"How much are you being paid?"

The question about consultancy fees was posed by the judge to the key defense witness late Thursday morning, just before he stepped down from the stand.
