Former President Donald Trump says he will be questioned under oath Wednesday in the New York attorney general’s long-running civil investigation into his dealings as a real estate mogul
Trump's testimony comes amid a flurry of legal activity surrounding him, taking place just days afteras part of an unrelated federal probe into whether he took classified records when he left the White House.
In May, James' office said that it was nearing the end of its probe and that investigators had amassed substantial evidence that could support legal action, such as a lawsuit, against Trump, his company or both. On Friday, the Trump Organization and its longtime finance chief, Allen Weisselberg, will be in court seekinglast year in the Manhattan district attorney's parallel criminal probe.
Trump has denied the allegations, explaining that seeking the best valuations is a common practice in the real estate industry. He says James’ investigation is part of a politically motivated “witch hunt” and that her office is “doing everything within their corrupt discretion to interfere with my business relationships, and with the political process.”
A grand jury that had been hearing evidence disbanded. The top prosecutor who had been handling the probe resigned after Bragg raised questions internally about the viability of the case.
