A New York judge said Thursday that Donald Trump and two of his children have to testify in a business fraud investigation, rejecting the ex-president's request to quash subpoenas issued by the state's attorney general.
Both the New York attorney general's office and the Manhattan district attorney are investigating whether Trump inflated the value of his holdings in order to secure loans and deflated values in order to reduce taxes.
This is a "lawful investigation" and her office has "legitimate reason to seek testimony" from the ex-president and his children who are also involved in his business affairs, Attorney General Letitia James said.
Trump must turn over documents within 14 days, and he, Donald Trump Jr. and Ivanka Trump must appear for depositions within 21 days, said the ruling from state Judge Arthur F. Engoron.
