Former US President Donald Trump was back in New York for questioning in a $250 million civil fraud lawsuit against him by the state's attorney general
The questioning will take place behind closed doors and has not generated the kind of attention that his historic surrender in New York City on separate criminal charges did last week.
There was a smattering of protesters outside New York Attorney General Letitia James' offices in lower Manhattan when Trump arrived for the deposition, with one group carrying a banner reading, "No One Is Above the Law." Trump, who is seeking the Republican nomination for the 2024 presidential election, will be asked about his business practices. The lawsuit accuses him and others of a decade-long scheme to manipulate property values and his net worth to obtain favorable loans and tax benefits.
The trial in the case is scheduled to begin Oct. 2. Thursday's deposition could be used to try to discredit any testimony Trump may give at trial, or be offered as testimony if he is unavailable to appear. It is not the first time Trump is facing the New York attorney general. Under questioning in August, before the case was filed, Trump invoked his right against self-incrimination under the U.S. Constitution's Fifth Amendment more than 400 times. Legal experts say the attorney general was also entitled to a deposition after the filing of the lawsuit.Former U.S.
