– I refuse to answer questions as every citizen is entitled to under the US Constitution, Trump said in a statement to Reuters. Just before 15:00 Norwegian time, the former president arrived at the state attorney’s office in New York in the United States, reports the AP news agency. Here, he has been summoned for questioning before New York’s highest judicial authority, where he will testify in a civil lawsuit. Linked to fraud Trump is being investigated for a number of cases, including fraud related to properties and business. The State Attorney in New York has been investigating Trump’s real estate dealings for a long time. For more than three years, this has been going on to find out whether his company, the Trump Organization, has misled banks and tax authorities by giving them misleading accounts.

According to the office, evidence was collected that could lead to a lawsuit against Trump, his company or both, writes Ap. Trump’s testimony had originally been scheduled for last month, but was delayed following the July 14 death of the former president’s ex-wife Ivana Trump. Family questioned It was late in 2021 that Trump was subpoenaed by James’ office, writes CNN. Several of his adult children were also called in. Son Donald Trump Jr. and daughter Ivanka Trump has already reportedly been questioned. These also have central roles in Trump’s businesses. – My magnificent company and I are under attack from all sides, Trump wrote on social media before Wednesday’s meeting. Furthermore, Trump claims that he is the victim of the worst witch hunt in the United States of all time. Investigators for several cases The Department of Justice in the United States is also conducting an investigation into Trump. On Monday, his house in Florida was searched by the FBI. There they are said to have tried to find secret documents that Trump may have brought with him from the White House. – This differs from what we have seen before. It is very demanding to get a judge to approve this type of search, comments US expert Sofie Høgestøl. According to Høgestøl, this means that investigators are actively asking questions about Trump and what he said and did during the storming of Congress on 6 January 2021.
