A judge has ruled former President Donald Trump and his two eldest children — Ivanka and Donald Trump Jr. — must answer questions under oath in a New York investigation into his business practices. The Trumps are almost certain to appeal the ruling.
Judge Arthur Engoron ordered Trump and his two eldest children, Ivanka and Donald Trump Jr., to comply with subpoenas issued in December by New York Attorney General Letitia James. Trump and his two children must sit for a deposition within 21 days, Engoron said. Engoron issued the ruling after a two-hour hearing with lawyers for the Trumps and James' office.
Trump called the ruling "a continuation of the greatest Witch Hunt in history — and remember, I can’t get a fair hearing in New York because of the hatred of me by Judges and the judiciary. It is not possible." "If she wants sworn testimony from my client, he’s entitled to immunity. He gets immunity for what he says, or he says nothing," Trump’s criminal defense lawyer, Ronald Fischetti, said in the hearing, which was conducted by video conference.
"Mr. Trump is a high profile individual, yes. That’s unique," Wallace said. "It’s unique that so many people are paying attention to a rather dry hearing about subpoena enforcement. But the legal issues that we’re dealing with here are pretty standard."The NY Attorney General says that President Donald Trump's company used "fraudulent or misleading" asset valuations to get loans and tax benefits.
"We have an extraordinary rare case where we can prove selective prosecution because she’s put her words out there so much and taken every opportunity to voice her vendetta against Donald Trump and his family to take him down," Habba said.
