Eric Haren, of the attorney general's office, said Tuesday during oral arguments.

Haren claimed the Trump Organization effectively waived privilege over the property's appraisal when the company submitted it to the IRS, though the judge questioned the argument.

"Is that your position? If you give the IRS a request for a deduction that anything that had to do with it is waived?" Judge Arthur Engoron asked.

"At no time did we waive any privilege assertions," said Amy Carlin, an attorney for the Trump Organization.
