Former President Donald Trump, Ivanka Trump, and Donald Trump Jr. have appealed a judge's decision requiring they answer questions under oath in New York state's civil investigation into their business practices.
Trump did not immediately comment on the appeal. In a statement following Engoron's decision, he called the ruling "a continuation of the greatest Witch Hunt in history."
James, a Democrat, has said her investigation has uncovered evidence Trump's company, the Trump Organization, used "fraudulent or misleading" valuations of assets like golf courses and skyscrapers to get loans and tax benefits.In his ruling, Engoron wrote: "A State Attorney General commences investigating a business entity, uncovers copious evidence of possible financial fraud, and wants to question, under oath, several of the entities' principals, including its namesake.
At a hearing prior to Engoron's decision, Trump's lawyers argued that having him sit for a civil deposition is an improper attempt to get around a state law barring prosecutors from calling someone to testify before a criminal grand jury without giving them immunity.
