Judge rules against Trump, says former president must testify in NY investigation

Trump can appeal the ruling to the state's Court of Appeals

Former President Donald Trump will have to testify under oath as part of the New York Attorney General's Office's investigation of his business practices after a state appellate court ruled against him Thursday.

The ruling by a panel of four judges upheld a decision by New York Supreme Court Judge Arthur Engoron, who said in February that Trump and two of his children had to comply with subpoenas calling for them to sit for depositions. Engoron had recently ordered that Trump was in contempt for failing to turn over documents.

Trump had argued that they could not be forced to testify because their responses could be used against them in a criminal probe and that violated his constitutional rights.

"The existence of a criminal investigation does not preclude civil discovery of related facts, at which a party may exercise the privilege against self-incrimination," Thursday's ruling from the Supreme Court's Appellate Division said.

The former president can appeal this latest decision to the state's highest court, the Court of Appeals.

I have been watching the last couple of days of the Johnny Depp trial. There has been some pure comedy from some of Amber’s experts..but the interesting thing is watching how the Judge rules on hearsay and seeing how it hamstrings everyone. She is a purist..so if you are on the stand she won’t let you say what you said outside of the courtroom

It really trips them up dealing with it...but it is technically the rule.

Kangaroo railroad job blatantly displayed by out of control democrat radicals in robes. There’s no way Trump will be given any fairness, ethics, or justice. This is political persecution at it’s worst. Higher court should step in and take this out of these partisans hands ASAP

“unprecendented harassment”

I have to agree with you. This nothing but a politically based witch hunt. Even the Feds in Manhattan dropped everything because there was no there there.

But the Hildebeast has a D (democrat) next to her name, or is it a B (beyotch) next to her name? We all know Ds and Bs are never held accountable for anything. Sucks.

The communists absolutely have to have him, and family, incarcerated before the 2024 elections...

Since they were able to jail hundreds of peaceful protesters on January 6th, 2021 WITHOUT charges,
and
since they got away with harsh and humiliating imprisonment conditions,
and
since they continue to claim “insurrection” yet none have been so-charged,
and
since the rest of the Nation’s serfs have never uttered a significant demand for their release or, even, protested the harsh prison conditions,
our communist masters know that the whole Trump family can be disappeared without a serious reaction from the serfs...

DJT can appeal to the highest court. If that fails he can take the fifth or fight a contempt charge.

Da all can plead da fif...one, two, three, four FIF....sorry to sound cavalier but that Dave Chappell skit still makes me laugh. I pray that an appeals court stops these hacks from torturing this President and his family......and I hope and pray they start fainting dead away when he’s back in the Oval!!!!

New York judges just as corrupt as DC ones. At least they are consistent.
