After Donald Trump’s historic indictment, the former US president is expected back in New York for another legal matter, according to media reports. As reported by TV stations ABC and CBS and the Washington Post newspaper, Trump will appear in Manhattan on Thursday for questioning in a civil case involving fraudulent business practices.
New York Attorney General Letitia James accuses Trump, the company named after him and his three children Donald Junior, Eric and Ivanka of having shown larger or smaller assets as needed, for example to gain easier access to loans or reduce taxes to pay.
With the civil lawsuit, which will be heard in October, James wants to achieve, among other things, that the Trumps must pay 250 million dollars (229 million euros) in compensation. Trump’s company denies the allegations. In an earlier investigation under oath last year, Trump refused to testify for hours — except for his name. The focus of the 76-year-old’s examination scheduled for Thursday was initially unclear.
Last week, Trump faced criminal charges in New York over hush money payments to a porn star – becoming the first former US president in history. He was briefly taken into custody and pleaded “not guilty”. (sda/dpa)
