At this point, Trump is no longer answering questions being posed by Wallace. Instead, Trump is turning his answers into direct attacks on the judge. He continues to point directly at Engoron who is sitting quietly, for now.

“He called me a fraud and he didn’t know anything about me,” Trump says of Engoron, after the judge asks Trump to stop talking about the disclaimers and answer the questions.

“You believed this political hack back there and that’s unfortunate,” Trump says to the judge of James. “Done,” asks Kevin Wallace? “Done,” says the former president, and the question continues.

To recap: Trump just lashed out from the witness stand at both Attorney General Letitia James and Justice Engoron when asked basic questions about whether the former president agreed with the attorney general’s case, or with the judge’s initial order finding him liable. He did answer directly.
