New York attorney general seeks depositions from Ivanka Trump, Donald Trump Jr.
By Shayna Jacobs, Jonathan O'Connell -
NEW YORK —New York Attorney General Letitia James has subpoenaed testimony from Ivanka Trump and Donald Trump Jr., two adult children of former president Donald Trump who have served as executives at his company, as part of James’s ongoing civil investigation into the Trump Organization and its business practices.
The subpoenas were disclosed Monday in an unsealed court filing that also detailed a schedule for challenges to the requests that the pair sit for depositions and provide records. Lawyers for Donald Trump, Ivanka Trump and Donald Trump Jr. agreed to file challenges by Dec. 27, according to the timeline.
The unsealed documents do not indicate whether those challenges were submitted or what they contained. But the filing suggests that further litigation over whether the subpoenas will be enforced was anticipated.
In the court filing, the names of Donald Trump, Ivanka Trump and Donald Trump Jr. were added as defendants in a civil probe that was opened months ago, when James (D) first asked a judge to order the Trump Organization and related parties to comply with subpoenas.
Alina Habba, an attorney for the former president and the Trump Organization, responded to a request for comment Monday by issuing a statement that called James’s actions “a threat to our democracy.” She said the attorney general “has weaponized her office through this political witch hunt.”
