NEW YORK — Donald Trump and two of his children must sit for questioning in the New York attorney general’s civil investigation into the former president’s financial dealings, a judge ruled Thursday.
Lawyers for Trump, Ivanka Trump and Donald Trump Jr. had argued against subpoenas tied to a probe of the family business, saying that James is improperly acting as a criminal prosecutor — and even discriminating against the elder Trump because he is a Republican.
But Manhattan Supreme Court Judge Arthur Engoron ruled in favor of the attorney general, requiring the former president, Trump Jr. and Ivanka to comply with demands for documents and testimony.
