Former President Donald Trump has arrived at the New York attorney general's office to be questioned under oath in New York’s long-running civil investigation into his dealings as a real estate mogul
Trump's testimony comes just days afteras part of an unrelated federal probe into whether he took classified records when he left the White House.
The Republican's deposition — a legal term for sworn testimony that’s not given in court — is one of the few remaining missing pieces, the attorney general’s office said. On Friday, the Trump Organization and its longtime finance chief, Allen Weisselberg, will be in court seekinglast year in the Manhattan district attorney's parallel criminal probe — spurred by evidence uncovered by James' office. Weisselberg and the company have pleaded not guilty.
Trump has denied the allegations, explaining that seeking the best valuations is a common practice in the real estate industry. He says James’ investigation is part of a politically motivated “witch hunt” and that her office is “doing everything within their corrupt discretion to interfere with my business relationships, and with the political process.” He's also accused James, who is Black, of racism in pursuing the investigation.
That probe had appeared to be progressing toward a possible criminal indictment of Trump himself, but slowed after a new district attorney, Alvin Bragg, took office in January: A grand jury that had been hearing evidence disbanded. The top prosecutor who had been handling the probe resigned after Bragg raised questions internally about the viability of the case.
