Former President Donald Trump is in New York City this morning for a deposition as part of the New York attorney general office's civil investigation into the Trump Organization.
New York Attorney General Letitia James' investigation began in March 2019 and revolves around claims the Trump Organization overvalued its properties to secure favorable terms on loans, insurance coverage and tax deductions.
Trump filed a lawsuit in Syracuse federal court against James' office last year, hoping to end the years-long inquiry.
The judge disagreed, dismissing Trump's claim that James' investigation was based on her perception of Trump “as a political opponent.”
Trump will now sit down with lawyers from James' office behind closed doors at an undisclosed location. The content of the questions is a matter of speculation, but we know he will take the Fifth.
Fox News has more on today's deposition:
Trump posted about the deposition on his Truth Social account early Wednesday morning.
“In New York City tonight. Seeing racist N.Y.S. Attorney General tomorrow, for a continuation of the greatest Witch Hunt in U.S. history!” Trump wrote. “My great company, and myself, are being attacked from all sides. Banana Republic!”
Donald Trump is the last member of the family to be deposed. Ivanka Trump and Don Jr. were deposed earlier this month. All three depositions were expected to take place last month, but Trump's lawyers had asked for a delay in light of the passing of Trump's first wife and the mother of his 3 eldest children Ivana Trump on July 14. The depositions had been scheduled to take place the next day.
This was yet another delay after a months-long battle in courts to stall and avoid the AG's office efforts to interrogate them.
Trump is spending the summer alternating between his residences at Trump National Golf Club in Bedminster, New Jersey and Trump Tower in Manhattan. He is widely expected to announce a presidential campaign before or after the midterms.
So, what do you think? Should Trump run for president again? And would an announcement before the midterms hurt Republicans with voters weary of his perceived antics? As always, tell us what you think in the comments below!

Same MO Dems use to IE Plead 5th
Letitia James an affirmative action marxist racist
She’s only one of many that is in some kind of government position, from the county to the federal levels, that have their jobs because of affirmative action. Now days the color of ones skin is more important than qualifications. Is it any wonder this country gets more screwed up every day?
“What goes around comes around”. President Trump will perform as he always has by putting the interests of the United States of America and ALL her citizens above the interests of himself, his family, and the myriad of selfish and self-centered special interests. God Bless him!
Trump was the best president ever however I feel he should not run again. There will be legal battles up and until 2024. The raid of his home will cause another legal battle, the FBI will probably plant evidence and of course Adam Shiffty will say he has the evidence. I would vote for Ron DeSantis
The Democreeps are shaking in their collective boots and will use every dirty, slimy trick in their leftist book to neutralize a/o eliminate the 45th President. He is too iconoclastic and would prosecute them ALL. They will attack his politics, they will attack his business, they will attack his family, his associates, on and on and on. Pray for Mr. Trump! When the Feds raid his home they will find SOMETHING, even if they have to plant ‘evidence,’ how much ya wanna bet?
The same laws the democrats use to hide from the law are available for law abiding citizens to use for protection from wrongful use of the law.
Wishful thinking !!!!
I wish vote for Mr Trump again.since the first day here said he was looking to Robins and president the assholes have tried to bring home down. Get luck to you who are age him and the people who stand behind his. Larry Dixon thank you
THRUMP SHOULD PLAY IRS AND PLEAD THE FIFTH.
TURN THE BEAST AROUND. LOVE TO HEAR ADOPTION.
