On the advice of counsel I invoke my Fifth Amendment privilege against self-incrimination, and respectfully decline to answer your question.

Rinse, repeat.

Under advice of my attorneys, I must defer that question to my accounting team.

“Trump’s company used “fraudulent or misleading” valuations of assets like golf courses and skyscrapers to get loans and tax benefits.”

You likely can ask 10 different companies and get 10 different results on a valuation on a properties / skyscrapers with a big name brand in the name.

The left is so stupid. If they can do this to our people, we can do it to theirs... and they have so much more to hide.

Only answer with Hillary statements.

“At this point, what difference does it make?”

“Like with a cloth?”

“Basket of deplorables”

...would be hilarious.

HELP ME. I CANT DECIDE WHICH IS MORE UGLY AND WHICH IS THE STUPIDEST......

New York AG Letitia James
OR
Mayor Eric Adams.

Neither should be in office......the hate they carry is weighed down by the ghetto chip on their shoulders.

Adams is sure ugly......looks like a snake...and acts like one.

James is pure bred mongrel........a real dog.

Actually this is supposed to be civil case. So, he has an perfect out to just plead the fifth because the Manhattan DA is pursuing a criminal case. They cannot give him immunity from that so he has no choice but to plead the fifth. See, that is what will make headlines, Trump Pleads Fifth. That is what they want.

This is lawfare. Keep him busy with attorneys, the meter keeps running. He really hit a nerve with these people.

No one forced the banks to loan his companies money based on those figures—they willingly did it. I am sure they did their due diligence beforehand. If not, it’s all on them. Real estate valuations are very fluid.

Doesn’t a bank use an independent accountant to determine the value of real estate before lending money?

What BS comming from that black b*tch La Titty James.

Pure harassment, and the MAGA people should investigate every detail about the life and background of La Titty James.

I read the article but the bitch AG has repeatedly made accusations of criminal misconduct on the part of the Trump business entity. She is looking for something to initiate a criminal case. The fact that she has made the accusation of criminal misconduct would lead me to believe the civil case is a pretense to drum up some type of criminal process crime as is the typical behavior for corrupt AGs and the Feds.

I would simple plead the Fifth if that is possible. I would not answer the questions as they are a trap not a legit attempt to enforce civil law. "I do not remember", "I do not recall" or "I do not know about that," could entrap him if there are emails or text messages or a corrupt former attorney sitting in jail willing to lie to get out. Even if something occurred 10 years ago and Trump really does not remember the details, a email or letter from ten years ago could entrap him.

Upon arrival at court house to testify DJT will be arrested, cuffed, perp walked for Media, and jailed without bond.

He’ll be held until his trial without communication in solitary. He’ll be brought into the court room shackled to a wheel chair and gagged.

A jury of impartial democrat activists will find him guilty on all counts. He will then be sentenced to life without parole to be kept in solitary.

Hello, stupid Dem DA beeotch. . .it’s the loan company that performs the value assessment not the loanee Trump. The loanee can contest the appraisal and offer his own. . .but it’s up to the lender to decide, not Trump. Every real estate agent under the sun has contested an appraisal. . .in fact, it is the duty of a real estate agent to do so in the interest of negotiating the best price for their client.
