A four-judge panel in the appellate division of the state's trial court upheld Manhattan Judge Arthur Engoron's Feb. 17 ruling enforcing subpoenas for Trump and his two eldest children to give deposition testimony in Attorney General Letitia James' probe.
NEW YORK -- Former President Donald Trump must answer questions under oath in the New York attorney general's civil investigation into his business practices, a state appeals court ruled Thursday, rejecting his argument that he be excused from testifying because his answers could be used in a parallel criminal probe.
"Once again, the courts have ruled that Donald Trump must comply with our lawful investigation into his financial dealings," James said in a written statement."We will continue to follow the facts of this case and ensure that no one can evade the law." In appealing Engoron's subpoena ruling, his lawyers argued that James, a Democrat, was engaging in"selective prosecution." The appellate panel rejected that, saying the investigation was on solid legal footing and that the Trumps showed no evidence they or their company were"treated differently" than other companies under similar scrutiny.
Appellate Court Judge Rolando T. Acosta appeared to agree with that position, foreshadowing Thursday's ruling as he questioned Futerfas from the bench.
