Trump, two adult children scheduled to testify July 15 in New York AG investigation
by Jared Gans - 06/08/22 3:30 PM ETFormer President Trump and two of his adult children are scheduled to sit for depositions on July 15 in a probe by the attorney general of New York into Trump’s business dealings, according to a court filing Wednesday.
New York Attorney General Letitia James (D) and lawyers for Trump, Donald Trump Jr. and Ivanka Trump reached an agreement that will allow the former president time to appeal if he wishes to. The Trumps have until Monday to ask the state’s Court of Appeals to hear the case.
James has been investigating whether Trump inflated the Trump Organization’s property values for investors and then deflated them in federal tax documents. She has been pushing Trump to turn over documents and sit for a deposition for months, but Trump has appealed her efforts in court. She first requested Trump testify in the civil investigation last December.
Trump lawyer Alina Habba did not immediately return a request from The Hill for comment.
A federal judge threw out a lawsuit that Trump filed to block James’ investigation late last month. Trump had argued that James’ probe is politically motivated, but U.S. District Judge Brenda Sannes rejected the argument.
