Highlights: Former President Donald Trump relied on a Forbes article to “prove” his net worth when placing a bid to buy the NFL’s Buffalo Bills – a decade-old business move that came under scrutiny during his New York civil fraud trial on Tuesday.

The former president refused to disclose financial statements to bankers involved in his $1 billion bid for the football team in 2014.
