State attorney general says three-year civil investigation has revealed that former president’s company inflated property values
Trump and his two eldest children, Ivanka and Donald Jr, were summoned to give sworn depositions after state attorney general, Letitia James, said a three-year civil investigation uncovered evidence that the Trump Organization routinely inflated the value of properties, including office blocks, apartment buildings and golf courses, in order to obtain loans at favorable rates and to claim tax breaks.
The process of taking depositions at the state supreme court in Manhattan is expected to continue into next week. It is not immediately clear on which day the former president will be questioned but Trump’s lawyer has indicated that he will invoke his constitutional right against self-incrimination and refuse to answer questions.
Prosecutors in Atlanta, Georgia, have convened a grand jury to consider whether Trump broke state law in trying to stop election authorities declaring that Joe Biden won the state. Earlier this month the grand jury subpoenaed US Senator Lindsey Graham and Trump’s attorney Rudy Giuliani as part of the criminal investigation.
