Former president Donald Trump and his two eldest children must answer questions from New York Attorney General’s Office investigators under oath as part of the long-running probe into whether his eponymous real estate company engaged in fraudulent business practices, a New York State appellate court said Thursday.
The ruling by a three-judge panel of the Supreme Court of New York Appellate Division upheld a 28 February ruling by Judge Arthur Engoron ordering Mr Trump and his children to appear for depositions and said correctly rejected Mr Trump’s argument that he, his son Donald Trump Jr, and his daughter Ivanka Trump should instead be permitted to testify before a grand jury as part of the paralell criminal investigation being conducted by Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg Jr.
