  • The deposition of Donald Trump was released in a lawsuit.

  • Trump swore under oath that he did not give instructions to his security personnel.

  • The lawyer for the protesters has been told by Michael Cohen that Trump's sworn account is not accurate.

A partial transcript has been released revealing Donald Trump's sworn account of a demonstration outside Trump Tower on September 3, 2015, a day when his security guards tangled violently with protesters of Mexican heritage who held cardboard signs reading "Make America Racist Again."

According to excerpts from an October deposition that were released Tuesday night as part of a lawsuit, Trump swore under oath that he did not order his security staff to sic the protesters or direct them to grab the signs.

The lawyer for the protesters said in a filing that Michael Cohen has a different account of what happened that day.

The New York State Supreme Court in the Bronx said that Cohen saw Trump order his top security guard to get rid of the demonstrators.

The filing states that Cohen followed Schiller down the stairs. The filing said that Mr. Cohen observed that the protesters sign had been forcibly taken from Efraim Galicia.

The cardboard sign replaced the word "again" with the word "racist" to depict the Trump campaign logo and slogan.

Mr. Cohen is a witness to events taking place in the Trump Organization offices and to Trump's directive to his private security personnel to get rid of the protesters.

The filing continued, "Mr. Cohen's information directly undermines the defense that Trump knew nothing about the protest until a day or more after it occurred."

The case was scheduled to go to trial on May 2, but the defendants are asking the judge to delay it.

Protesters filed a lawsuit. They say that the then-presidential candidate directed his security team to violently break up their demonstration on the sidewalk outside the Fifth Avenue Manhattan skyscraper where Trump has a penthouse apartment, the headquarters for his business, and, at the time, his campaign offices.

A video that was caught on camera shows a fight between the two men in which Schiller is accused of punching Galicia in the head after stealing his sign. According to an affidavit, Schiller said that he believed Galicia was grabbing for his gun from behind when he struck him in the head with an open hand.

Trump is not required to testify in person at the trial. Instead, jurors will see excerpts from his deposition, which was released Tuesday night.

Trump fought hard not to be deposed. He denied any involvement in the protest that took place six years prior at a conference table in Trump Tower.

At any time on September 3, 2015, did you see anyone protesting outside of Trump Tower?

Trump said no.

At any time on September 3, 2015, did you order the use of force against the protesters?

Trump said no.

At any time on September 3, 2015, did you order anyone to take any of the protesters signs?

Trump answered again.

At any time on September 3, 2015, did you know that one of the protesters had taken their signs?

The demonstrators had gathered on the sidewalk to protest comments Trump made three months prior in announcing his run for the White House, including that Mexican immigrants are bringing drugs. They are bringing crime. They are rapists.

After the day that this took place, through a lot of bedlam that was caused by the Ku Klux Klan outfits, I started to hear about it.

Some of the protesters wore Ku Klux Klan robes to mock Trump for winning early support of white supremacists.

A lot of people were complaining about it because of the Ku Klux Klan, according to the transcript.

The transcript excerpt reaches the bottom of a page after he said that there was a sign that was taken away.

Cohen would be able to tell his story in front of lawyers for both sides if the delay was granted.

Cohen told Insider that the subpoena was improper and that he ignored it.

The matter has been resolved, according to a document filed Tuesday night.

Michael Cohen will appear in person for a video-taped examination before his trial. The deposition would be played at the trial in lieu of Cohen testifying in person, according to the stipulations.

Cohen declined to comment on his upcoming deposition when reached by Insider Wednesday morning, except to say that he is prepared to do what he is legally required to do.

Cohen said that Donald J. Trump was involved in every aspect of the Trump Organization regardless of how big or small the matter was.

The new trial date was requested by the lawyers for the protesters, along with a lawyer for the Trump campaign and a lawyer for the Trump Organization.

The deposition of Trump in the protester case is the first he has been forced to give since the election. Since Trump can no longer argue that he is too busy running the country, others will come.

The deposition of the former president is scheduled for June 16. Trump has been ordered to give a deposition in the Electric Avenue lawsuit by June 21.

A Manhattan judge ordered Trump to sit for a deposition for New York Attorney General Letitia James, who has been probing The Trump Organization for three years.
