NEW YORK — Former President Donald Trump will be questioned under oath on June 16 in a class-action lawsuit over his years-long promotion of a troubled multi-level marketing company that sold desktop video phones.
Trump, who failed to get the 2018 case dismissed, agreed to the deposition date after negotiations with lawyers for four investors who claim he duped them into paying thousands of dollars to become independent sellers with ACN Opportunity LLC, according to a filing Friday in Manhattan federal court.
ACN’s video phone was touted by Trump on “The Apprentice,” and he also appeared in promotional videos that promised people could make easy money selling it “without any of the risks most entrepreneurs have to take.” He was paid almost $9 million by ACN between 2005 and 2015.
