Problematic Perilous Payback

The court says Donald Trump and his family must testify in the  New York attorney general's investigation into his business practices.

An accounting firm fired Trump this week and now a judge in New York ruled that he and his children can be deposed as part of a civil fraud investigation conducted by the New York Attorney General's office.

This could be the worst week so far of the rest of their lives. Trump and his adult kids were aggressively trying to avoid explaining—under oath—why so many of their business properties have wildly different values on paper. A New York judge decides they must testify next month. Also, a Judge has rejected Trump’s attempt to toss conspiracy lawsuits, finds 'plausible' case former president incited the January 6 Capitol Riot.

Perilous Point After Years Lies and Fraud Allegations.

Trump attorneys claim that because it's really a criminal case, they should be before the grand jury answering questions. The reason goes back to New York's transactional immunity law. Courthouse News explains that such immunity would protect Trump from prosecution from any crime if he unveils things during his testimony. https://www.nysenate.gov/legislation/laws/CPL/190.40
