A judge is hearing arguments in a legal fight over whether former President Donald Trump must answer questions under oath in a New York investigation into his business practices
NEW YORK -- A judge is hearing arguments Thursday in former President Donald Trump's fight to avoid being questioned under oath in a New York investigation into his business practices.
New York Attorney General Letitia James is seeking to enforce subpoenas her office issued in December to Trump and his two eldest children, Ivanka and Donald Trump Jr.
James, a Democrat, said her civil investigation has uncovered evidence Trump's company used “fraudulent or misleading” valuations of assets like golf clubs and skyscrapers to get loans and tax benefits.
She wants her investigators to be able to question Trump and his children, both of whom have been been executives in the Trump Organization.
