On the stand, Donald Trump is likely to adopt a conservative line of defence similar to his sons last week.
NEW YORK: Former president Donald Trump is expected to testify Monday in the New York civil case threatening to upend his real estate empire and deal him a damaging financial blow as he seeks to retake the White House next year.
Beneath the Manhattan courtroom’s fading mural acclaiming the 1683 adoption of a “Charter of Liberties,” Trump is to be sworn in and questioned, as did his two eldest sons Don Jr. and Eric the week before. During the second deposition he argued the whole case was “crazy” because “banks were all paid” and “made a lot of money” off his business.Trump and his sons do not risk going to jail, but face up to US$250 million in penalties and potential removal from the management of the family company.
That order is on hold pending appeal, but its potentially sweeping consequences highlight the high stakes for the former president.
