Trump Back in New York for Deposition in AG’s $250 Million Civil Suit

Former President Donald Trump arrived in New York for his deposition before state Attorney General Letitia James, the Florida resident and native New Yorker announced on his Truth Social platform early Thursday morning.

The deposition is part of a $250 million civil fraud lawsuit filed by James. The suit accuses Trump, his three eldest children, and his company of artificially inflating his net worth by billions of dollars and inflating his company’s real-estate portfolio. Trump’s first deposition in the case was in August.

Trump, unsurprisingly, was not thrilled about having to make the trip.

“Just arrived in Manhattan for a deposition in front of New York State’s RACIST, TRUMP HATING Attorney General, Letitia ‘Peekaboo’ James, in another unjust & ridiculous persecution of The 45th President of the United States,” Trump wrote. “I built a GREAT & prosperous company, employed thousands of people, built magnificent structures all over the World, but particularly in New York, & now have to prove it to this LOWLIFE who campaigned on a ‘I will get Trump’ platform, even before knowing anything about me!”

The former president went on to write that the “persecution” would give him the opportunity to “show what a great, profitable, and valuable company I built” with “some of the greatest real estate assets anywhere in the world.” In addition to James, he took aim at the “scum” in the White House and Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, and he complained the case was being held in front of a “Trump Hating Judge.”

Trump visited New York City when he was indicted earlier this month by a Manhattan grand jury on 34 counts of falsifying business records related to alleged hush money payments made to porn star Stormy Daniels, Playboy model Karen McDougal, and a former Trump Tower doorman. The former president pleaded not guilty to all the charges.

Trump has attempted to delay the trial for the lawsuit, but the judge overseeing the case maintained the trial would occur in October.
