Trump answered questions for more than 7 hours in New York fraud lawsuit

Former President Trump on Thursday was back in a New York City courtroom, facing questions under oath for “nearly seven hours” in a business fraud case brought by the state of New York, according to his lawyer.
Trump was arrested and charged with 34 counts of falsifying business records earlier this month in New York on an unrelated investigation, one of the multiple legal entanglements the former president faces.
This civil case, brought by New York Attorney General Letitia James, alleges that Trump and his children systematically committed fraud by overvaluing Trump’s assets by billions of dollars.
The case seeks a $250 million penalty, the amount James believes Trump profited off the alleged fraud, and to effectively prevent the Trump family from continuing to do business in the state.
The Trump Organization is also a defendant in the suit, alongside Donald Trump Jr., Eric Trump and Ivanka Trump.
