Former US President Donald Trump and members of his immediate family have been ordered to answer questions under oath in a New York investigation into their business practices
Donald Trump, the former President of the United States as well as two of his children, Ivanka and Donald Trump Jnr have been ordered to answer questions under oath in an investigation into the Trump business practices, currently under a probe in New York.
New York’s attorney general claims that the Trump Organisation has obtained tax breaks and loans through “fraudulent or misleading asset valuations”.
Donald Trump has been ordered to sit for sworn testimony within 21 days.
He denies the accusations, and is expected to appeal the decision.
He could also invoke his right to remain silent in any deposition.
The Trump Organisation has since responded in a statement, which reads that “The entire system is corrupt.”
