Donald Trump will face questioning from the New York Attorney General's office Wednesday, as its years-long civil fraud probe nears its conclusion.
Trump confirmed Wednesday's deposition in the wide-ranging investigation in a post on his social network. He called the investigation a "witch hunt" and said "my great company, and myself, are being attacked from all sides."
New York Attorney General Letitia James has sought the deposition for more than half a year as Trump and two of his children, Donald Trump Jr. and Ivanka Trump, fought subpoenas through a trio of New York courts. They were eventually ordered to sit for depositions, and earlier this month Trump Jr. and Ivanka Trump were questioned.
