Trump to face questioning Thursday in civil case brought by progressive NY AG Letitia James

Law enforcement sources revealed to the New York Post that Trump is expected to plead the fifth amendment as he did last year when pressed by James’ office.

Trump is set to fly from his Florida residence on Wednesday night, and will be questioned by James’ prosecutors at her Manhattan offices on Thursday morning.

Last year, James filed a $250 million civil case against Trump, his family real estate company, as well as several others including three of his children. James claims that they inflated company assets to receive better deals on insurance and loans.

James’ office launched its probe into the matter in 2019 following Congressional testimony of Michael Cohen, former Trump lawyer and the attorney who was claimed to be the middleman between Trump and the two women in his payments, who at the time implicated Trump and his business practices.

In 2020, James filed a lawsuit seeking to access records and depositions, and claiming that the Trump Organization and Trump family members were delaying her investigation.

The New York City arrival comes around a week after Trump was last in the city, previously being arraigned on April 4 on 34 counts of falsifying business records relating to payments allegedly made to porn star Stormy Daniels and former Playboy Playmate Karen McDougal, of which he plead not guilty.
