In a statement in the morning, Mr. Trump said he was once again the victim of a “witch hunt” and said he had “refused to answer questions, under the rights and prerogatives granted to every citizen by the Constitution the United States”.
The 45th American president has been targeted since 2019 – with two of his children, Ivanka and Donald Jr – by a civil investigation by the highest magistrate of the State of New York.
The investigations against the Trump Organization family group had been launched after the explosive testimony in Congress in Washington by one of Donald Trump’s former personal lawyers, Michael Cohen, alleging fraudulent assessments, up or down, of active within the Trump Organization, to obtain loans, obtain tax reductions or better insurance compensation.
Letitia James had assured in January that she had “uncovered significant evidence which suggests that Donald Trump and the Trump Organization had falsely and fraudulently valued a number of assets”, in particular golf courses or the personal triplex of the American billionaire, located in the Trump Tower in New York.
Allegations brushed aside by Donald Trump’s lawyers.
