Michael Cohen, a former lawyer for former President Donald Trump, underwent questioning under oath in a New York civil fraud case against the former president's organization on Friday.
Cohen appeared in court beginning at 10 a.m. to sit for a deposition in New York Attorney General Letitia James's $250 million civil fraud lawsuit against the Trump Organization, alleging that Trump and others manipulated property value and his net worth to obtain favorable loans and tax benefits in a decades-long scheme.
Alina Habba, attorney for former President Trump, filed an order to show cause on April 3, claiming that Cohen had refused to show up for questioning at two separate times and asked a judge to order Cohen to comply with the deposition, per court records. “Mr. Cohen claims to have intimate first-hand knowledge about the alleged acts that are the basis of the complaint in this case, as a witness and as active participant in those acts,” Habba wrote in the filing.
