NEW DELHI: Donald Trump will soon face questions under oath about his decades-long pattern of embellishing reports of his wealth, reports The New York Times.
The former president and his eldest daughter, Ivanka Trump, are set to be questioned this month by the New York State attorney general’s office, which has been conducting an investigation into whether Trump and his company fraudulently inflated the value of his assets. Trump’s son, Donald Trump Jr., was interviewed last week, according to people with knowledge of the matter.
The interviews mark the final stage of a three-year civil inquiry that could lead to legal action against Trump and his company. Trump has derided the inquiry as a politically-motivated witch hunt and denied all wrongdoing. If a lawsuit is filed, and Trump loses at trial, a judge could impose steep financial penalties and restrict Trump’s business operations in New York — all amid a 2024 presidential campaign that he has hinted he will join.
