Former President Donald Trump and two of his adult children are tentatively set to begin testifying as part of a civil investigation of the Trump family business by the New York attorney general on July 15, a court filing revealed Wednesday.
The agreement to testify by Trump and Donald Trump Jr. and Ivanka Trump is conditional.
The testimony would not occur on that date if a New York state appeals court issues a stay of a judge’s order that the Trumps must answer questions under oath by investigators for Attorney General Letitia James.
Lawyers for the family and company have repeatedly but unsuccessfully tried to block a subpoena for their testimony from James.
James is investigating the Trump Organization for possibly illegal manipulation of the stated valuations of various real estate assets owned by that company.
Donald Trump Jr. currently operates the Trump Organization with his brother Eric Trump, who previously answered questions under oath by James’ investigators.
Ivanka Trump, who served as senior White House advisor during her father’s presidency, is a former top executive in the Trump Organization.
