Judge orders Eric Trump to sit for NY attorney general deposition before the election, despite Trump's assertion of having an 'extreme travel schedule' and a desire 'to avoid the use of his deposition attendance for political purposes.'
until after the Nov. 3rd election, citing his"extreme travel schedule and related unavailability between now and the election" and the need"to avoid the use of his deposition attendance for political purposes."
The prosecutor's office fought the delay, noting that investigators have been trying to interview him for months and that he'd backed out of a scheduled deposition in July. State Supreme Court Justice Arthur Engoron sided with Attorney General Letitia James' office, ruling that neither her office"nor this court is bound by timelines of the national election." Eric Trump could still appeal, in New York there are two courts higher than the Supreme Court."The New York Attorney General has called my father an ‘illegitimate’ president and pledged to take him down while she was running for office," he said.
James' sprawling civil investigation is based in part on former Trump lawyer Michael Cohen's testimony to Congress about the Trump Organization's business practices. It seeks to learn whether the company's financial filings were inflated or deflated to obtain loans or reduce potential taxes.contributed.
