On Thursday, an appeals court ruled former President Trump must testify in the New York attorney general probe into his business practices.

A four-judge panel for the Appellate Division of the New York Supreme Court unanimously ruled against Trump’s appeal in the case. The former president argued the investigation is politically motivated.

The Hill reports:

“OAG began its investigation after public testimony of a senior corporate insider and reviewed significant volumes of evidence before issuing the subpoenas,” the panel wrote in its decision, using an acronym for the Office of Attorney General. “Appellants have not identified any similarly implicated corporation that was not investigated or any executives of such a corporation who were not deposed. Therefore, appellants have failed to demonstrate that they were treated differently from any similarly situated persons.”

New York Attorney General Letitia James (D), who’s conducting a civil investigation into potential fraud at the Trump Organization, applauded the decision.

“Once again, the courts have ruled that Donald Trump must comply with our lawful investigation into his financial dealings,” James said in a statement. “We will continue to follow the facts of this case and ensure that no one can evade the law.”

Trump had appealed a lower court ruling ordering him to provide testimony and documents to James’s office. Judge Arthur Engoron found Trump in contempt earlier this month for failing to comply with the order to provide to business records to the investigators.



  1. Its more than a little disturbing that Pres.Trump is being told to testify in a NY probe!
    There is no good reason for this desision and it seems to me that Pres. Trump
    is being unnecessarily maligned!

  2. These corrupt judges need to go and so do the corrupt DAS enough. Trump always comes out ahead. Democrats are nothing but evil corrupt pos

  3. James and the rest of the democrats continue to do all they can think of to stop him from
    running again and to interfere with mid terms!!!!It’s all political & everyone knows it. From Piglosi & the house to Schumer in the Senate and New York all in this joint venture to
    make sure the lawless democrats can stay and continue to destroy our country!!! There is
    so much else going on that needs attention and fixing than another witch hunt again..over
    and over again. Looks like Clinton maybe finally caught in all her lies and wrong doings!!
    But as Teflon as she is and the rest of the democrats she may slip thru! If it were a Republican you can believe they would not slip thru!!! The system is rigged for the LEFT!!

  4. Everyone knows the New York A.G. is trying to take Trump down so she will be a hero of the Democrat Crime Organization and advance her career in the Organization.

  5. NY IS NOTHING MORE THAN A TERRORIST LIB STATE……..GO AFTER HC, AS SHE HAS PURJURED HERSELF TOO MANY TIMES……DEMS/RINOS ARE THE ONES THAT SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED.

  6. This should shock no one since the Court in New York is LOADED with WILLFULLY IGNORANT LIBERALS. The lawsuits against President Trump are POLITICAL.

  7. The New York judiciary and the State AG Office are so highly politicized to the Left, they can’t smell their own s–t.

  8. its another witch hunt.. how come the clintons and obamas are being investigated.. they are 1000% more guilty than President Trump will ever be…. If ag james is so concerned about a lawful investigation take it out of NY and see what happens.

  9. So much for the halls of justice. If you want to see someone lose their court case, just label them as a conservative 😉

  10. These cooked ass judges are just pit bulls appointed by Ofraudgi and his under study Biden,
    They all need their asses kicked up into their throats,
    And those judges shipped off to a third word country,
    Investigate Bidens foreign deals and then the Clintons too.

  11. LET HIM REFUSE LIKE THE DIRTY DEMOCRATS DO!!!! THE NEED TO FACE FACTS BECAUSE ALMIGHTY GOD HAS CHOSEN HIM AS OUR PRESIDENT AND HE WILL BE REINSTATED NO MATTER WHAT THESE VILE CRIMINALS TRY!!! AND THAT INCOMPETENT AG AND JUDGE CAN FORGET ABOUT OVERRIDING OUR WILL!!!! WE HAVE REJECTED THESE DEMOCRAT CHEATING DEVILS AND THEIR TIME IS SHORT!!
