Iran Press/ America: Donald Trump is scheduled to return to New York for a deposition Thursday in a business fraud lawsuit filed against him and his company by the state's attorney general, according to a person familiar with the matter.
It will be the former president’s first trip to New York City since his arraignment last week on felony charges in a separate criminal case involving hush-money payments made during the 2016 campaign to bury claims of extramarital sexual encounters that Trump says never happened, US News reported.
Trump is expected to face questioning at New York Attorney General Letitia James' office in lower Manhattan, according to the person, who was not authorized to speak publicly about the matter and did so on condition of anonymity.
Trump previously sat for a deposition at James' office last August, just weeks before she filed the lawsuit. That time, Trump declined to answer questions, invoking his Fifth Amendment protection against self-incrimination more than 400 times.
Trump said he did so because he believed the investigation was part of a “politically motivated Witch Hunt.”
