Manhattan Judge Rules Trump and His Kids Must Testify in NY AG's Investigation into Trump Organization’s Business Dealings

Donald Trump and his kids Ivanka and Donald Jr. must testify in New York Attorney General Letitia James’ investigation into the Trump Organization’s business dealings, a Manhattan judge ruled Thursday.

The Trump family trio has been fighting to quash the subpoenas for their sworn testimony, arguing that James’ office is targeting the former president for “selective prosecution” for political reasons and to bolster her career.

Trump’s camp says the AG’s office will use the depositions from the family members to aid a parallel criminal investigation by the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office in conjunction with with AG’s Office, rather than calling the family members before a grand jury — which would give them immunity from civil claims involving the same facts.
