#LetitiaJames launched her civil investigation of potential fraud in Trump business dealings in March 2019 after President Trump’s longtime personal lawyer Cohen told Congress that Trump had REPEATEDLY INFLATED the VALUE OF HIS ASSETS to obtain more favorable terms for loans...
The lawyers argued #EricTrump’s “extreme travel schedule” related to his father’s re-election campaign prevented him from testifying sooner in state AG #LetitiaJames’s civil probe
They said they also wanted “to avoid the use of his deposition attendance for political purposes.”
AG James sought court intervention after #EricTrump’s lawyers abruptly canceled an interview with investigators that had been planned for late July.
A hearing on the matter is scheduled for next Wednesday in state court in Manhattan.

UPDATE:
#EricTrump and his legal team have in fact stated a “CATEGORICAL REFUSAL” TO APPEAR — and that one of those refusals occurred during an interview with #FoxNews Radio
