CNBC reports:
Former President Donald Trump and two of his adult children are tentatively set to begin testifying as part of a civil investigation of the Trump family business by the New York attorney general on July 15, a court filing revealed Wednesday.
The agreement to testify by Trump and Donald Trump Jr. and Ivanka Trump is conditional.
The testimony would not occur on that date if a New York state appeals court issues a stay of a judge’s order that the Trumps must answer questions under oath by investigators for Attorney General Letitia James.
The Insider reports:
Lawyers for Donald Trump and New York Attorney General Letitia James will spar before a Manhattan judge on Wednesday afternoon — with potentially $300,000 in new contempt-of-court fines at stake.
The AG learned last week that the Trump Organization — the former president’s multi-billion-dollar hotel and golf resort empire — had no central policy for preserving Trump’s handwritten directives.
The AG has said that such directives — typically scrawled in Trump’s ubiquitous Sharpie, and often on Post-It Notes he affixed to contract and assessment drafts and other documents — are crucial to her 3-year probe of alleged financial wrongdoing at the business.
