The investigations are about, among other things, the suspicion that Trump’s company has given false information about the value of its real estate.

New York Former US President Donald Trump and his children Don Junior and Ivanka are scheduled to testify under oath in July as part of an investigation into his company’s financial dealings. They are scheduled to answer questions from the office of New York Attorney General Letitia James about business practices at the Trump Organization for several days beginning July 15, according to a new document in a New York state court.
However, the Trumps could avoid this if an appeal in an appeals court were upheld. A judge ruled in February that Trump, Don Jr and Ivanka must testify. The family’s lawyers had tried to take action against this decision and to stop the investigation – so far without success. James’ extensive civil investigations include suspicions that Trump’s company misrepresented the value of its properties in order to obtain loans or obtain price advantages.
Trump has previously described the investigation as a “witch hunt” and accused Democrat James of being politically motivated. Trump, 75, and his children can decline to testify if they otherwise incriminate themselves.
Trump’s son Eric, who was required to testify under oath in the matter, exercised that right hundreds of times during his questioning. However, such a step could be construed as disadvantageous in a possible process. Donald Trump is the founder of the Trump Organization, his two sons Donald Trump Jr and Eric Trump are the vice presidents of the conglomerate, which is primarily active in the real estate sector.
