New York’s Highest Court rejected Trump’s last-ditch effort, to avoid Testifying in the State Attorney General’s Civil investigation into his Business Practices on Tuesday, clearing the way for his Deposition next month.
The State’s Court of Appeals, said there was No “substantial constitutional question” that would warrant its intervention in the matter, following an Appellate Court’s ruling last month, enforcing a Subpoena for Trump’s Testimony.
The Court also Dismissed a Motion by Trump’s Lawyers to Stay the Subpoenas, saying that doing so would be “academic,” since it wasn’t taking up Trump's Appeal in the first place.
Trump and his Two Eldest Children, Ivanka and Donald Trump Jr., agreed last week to, answer Questions under Oath, starting July 15th unless the Court of Appeals decided to step in.
Messages seeking Comment on Tuesday’s Ruling was sent to Trump’s Lawyer. Alan Futerfas, a Lawyer for Ivanka and Donald Trump Jr., with All declining Comment.
The Appellate Division of the State’s Trial Court ruled May 26th, that the Trumps had to Undergo a Deposition, upholding a Lower Court’s Ruling that AG James’ Office had “the clear right” to question Trump and certain other Figures in his Company, the Trump Organization.
Letitia “Tish” James (D) has said her Three-year Investigation has uncovered Evidence that the Trump Organization Exaggerated the Value of Assets including: Skyscrapers, Golf courses, and Trump's Manhattan Penthouse to get Loans and Insurance, but Rasied the Value, for Tax Breaks, and also used the Higher Value for Land Donations.
A Lawyer for her Office told a Judge, last month, that Evidence could support Legal Action against Trump, his Company, or both, though the Attorney said No Decision had been made.
Trump has Decried the Investigation, as part of a Politically motivated “witch hunt” against him.
Trump is also facing similar Lawsuits at Californa's Properties, and Chicago which wants its Tax Refund back.
Scotland was also looking at his Two Golf clubs, but No new information is available.
