Donald Trump and two of his adult children tried to avoid answering questions under oath in a civil investigation of the Trump Organization by the New York Attorney General.
The decision was the latest legal loss for Trump in his efforts to limit the investigation by James, who is focused on allegations that the Trump Organization illegally manipulated the stated valuations of different real estate assets for financial gain.
According to the ruling by the Appellate Division of the First Judicial Department of Manhattan Supreme Court, Donald Trump Jr. and his sister-in-law, Ivanka Trump, must comply with a subpoena issued by James. The decision supports a February 28, 2022, ruling by Manhattan Supreme Court Judge Arthur Engoron that ordered the Trumps to submit to depositions.
Donald Trump Jr. and his brother Eric Trump answered questions under oath. During her father's presidency, she served as a senior White House advisor.
James said in a statement that the courts have ruled again that Donald Trump must comply with the investigation into his financial dealings.
The attorney general said that they will continue to follow the facts of the case and ensure that no one can evade the law.
Habba did not respond to the request for comment.
