A judge has ruled that former President Donald Trump and his two children, Ivanka and Donald Jr., must testify in the probe by the New York state attorney general.
A judge has ruled that former President Donald Trump and his two eldest children must testify in the investigation by the New York state attorney general into the family's business practices.
The argument that Trump, his eldest son Donald Jr. and his eldest daughter Ivanka put forth to try and quash subpoenas for testimony and evidence "completely misses the mark," Judge Arthur Engoron of the New York State Supreme Court ruled Thursday.
The judge gave the Trumps 21 days to sit for depositions.
The Trumps had argued that it was improper for the attorney general's office to issue subpoenas for its civil investigation while the Manhattan District Attorney's office is still conducting its separate criminal probe.
