Donald Trump has described the investigation into his company as the “biggest witch hunt” in the history of the United States during a formal deposition.
In September 2022, the New York Attorney General Letitia James, announced she would be looking into the Trump organisation’s business practices.
James alleges the former president “falsely inflated his net worth by billions of dollars to unjustly enrich himself and cheat the system”.
The lawsuit also takes aim at some of Trump’s children, and executives of his business.
During the deposition tape, Trump can be seen reading a lengthy statement.
During this, the former president asserts his constitutional right to not answer questions, while accusing James of investigating him out of political spite.
