Trump to sit for deposition in high-stakes civil lawsuit threatening the fate of his business empire
Donald Trump will be deposed Thursday as part of a high-stakes civil case brought by New York state against the former president, some of his children and his sprawling business empire.
The lawsuit, brought last September by New York Attorney General Letitia James, alleges that Trump, his children Donald Trump Jr., Eric Trump and Ivanka Trump, and the Trump Organization were involved in an expansive scheme lasting over a decade by providing false financial statements to lenders and others that the former president used to enrich himself.
The suit from James, a Democrat, is seeking $250 million and bans on the Trumps' ability to operate a business in the state. The case is set for trial in October. The Trumps have denied wrongdoing.
