Ivanka Trump, the President's daughter and adviser, sat for a deposition Tuesday with investigators from the Washington, DC, attorney general's office as part of its lawsuit alleging the misuse of inaugural funds, according to a court filing.

In January, the DC attorney general's office sued the Trump Organization and Presidential Inaugural Committee alleging they abused more than $1 million raised by the nonprofit by "grossly overpaying" for use of event space at the Trump hotel in Washington for the 2017 inauguration.

Depositions of witnesses as part of the lawsuit have been underway over the past several weeks.

Tom Barrack, chairman of the inaugural committee, was deposed on November 17, according to the court filing.

1. ...

[dchill]

2. I beg your pardon.

[Ligyron]

3. Oh, now that is good.

[malaise]

4. I never promised you

a 'White House' Rose Garden

[George II]

16. Thankfully the District of Columbia is an autonomous District, they have their own AG, and....

....any crimes committed in the District are not pardonable by the president. Only Federal crimes can.

[soothsayer]

24. Sounds civil, too, rather than criminal

[dchill]

34. I like the sound of that.

[steve2470]

5. Non-stop lies, "cannot remember"

I'm sure the truth was very very scarce in her deposition. If this was a criminal investigation, I am sure "taking the 5th" would have been non-stop.

[louis-t]

12. Actually, it's "I don't recall."

That started with Alberto Gonzales during the 9/11 investigations.

[monmouth4]

13. What ever happened to ole Alberto? Never hear of him anymore..n/t

[Kali]

30. he was recently pontificating on the election

[monmouth4]

32. Thanks Kali..n/t

[orangecrush]

49. Hi Kali!

[Kali]

54. howdy!

[DENVERPOPS]

57. That was

Reagans go to line for years............

[smirkymonkey]

6. This is starting to get interesting!

[madaboutharry]

7. The Trump mob family tried to blame this on Stephanie Windsor Wolcoff.

Wolcoff didn't do anything wrong.

There are people who stole $80,000,000. One day we will find out who they are.

[DENVERPOPS]

58. Do you remember

the anonymous sources that said Trump had a nuclear meltdown when they informed him that the massive amount of donated money for the inauguration had to be spent on the inauguration and that it wasn't "his" ???????????

He was reported as screaming at the top of his lungs, nearly having an aneurism, that it was HIS money, and not for the inauguration committee to spend. He thought that the U.S. Gov't was paying the bill for his inauguration and that the entirety of the donated money was his for winning the election.

So, he had a cheap inauguration celebration, and grifted the rest of it by supposedly paying common lowly employees of his tens of millions in "consulting fees" that they never received.........it just disappeared........

Of course that 80+ million was insignificant compared to what he has grifted from the U.S. Government and Donors ever since his first days in office. In addition, I can only imagine the 100's of millions or more than likely Billions that Ivanka and Jared grifted for TRUMP INC during the spring covid outbreak....along with all the money the RepubliCON Senators and RepubliCON house members and his entire cabinet and administration grifted. Does everyone remember the HALF A TRILLION DOLLARS his people declared that they didn't have to account for out of the huge covid relief package. And the trillions that was laundered and sent to uber wealthy and corporations???????????

The graft and corruption of this group of RepubliCONs isn't "out of this world", it is "out of this universe".
This current group of RepubliCONs is by far the most thoroughly corrupt political party in the history of our nation, and working on being the most thoroughly corrupt group of people in the history of the world......

[madaboutharry]

62. They claimed the inauguration cost over $100,000,000.

Wolkoff says she spent $26,000,000.

That is over $80,000,000 that is missing.

And look what he just did. He raised, as of a couple of days ago, nearly $200,000,000 by claiming he money to “fight the rigged election.” He can do whatever he wants with that money.

The Trumps are gangsters, every last one of them.

[DENVERPOPS]

64. and reported in the past few days

that 200 Mill has grown to almost twice that????????

[NRaleighLiberal]

8. did she try the Sharon Stone character Basic Instinct maneuver?

[George II]

29. Ugh, spare me the visual!

[DENVERPOPS]

59. No shit George.....NC

[TheBlackAdder]

37. She's so cold that they'll need sunglasses.

[UncleTomsEvilBrother]

9. smh

"I do not recall."

[MontanaMama]

10. Deposition Barbie probably had a sad today.

Is misuse of inaugural funds a federal or state crime?

[George II]

17. That's hard to say - if DC has jurisdiction, it's not a federal crime.

[Budi]

11. Trump, "I gotta pardon a couple kids "

🙄

[Evolve Dammit]

14. get used to it honey

[RainCaster]

15. The Secretary of Nepotism is in deposition

I love how that sounds...

[iluvtennis]

18. Good. And this is DC lawsuit, not a federal lawsuit that trump crime family can't be pardoned. nt

[PCIntern]

19. This is "a big fucking deal".

She can not remember all she wants. The money can be followed.

[Trumpdumper]

20. "Ask that bitch, my stepmother. F*&# that c*&@!"

[PCIntern]

22. Sounds about right.

[DENVERPOPS]

60. Good luck

the tax people are still trying to process the last 30 years of his tax returns.......

[dlk]

21. Daddy has her "get out of jail free" card

She’s not worried at all. Despite the millions of dollars she’s grifted, she’ll walk.

[soothsayer]

25. Can't get pardoned for DC though. Heeheehee

[dlk]

35. I'm not sure how that works

DC isn’t a state. If they’re federal charges, a pardon would be valid. What am I missing?

[LiberalFighter]

23. I hope they made her cry.

[George II]

26. I hope she didn't get makeup advice from Rudy Giuliani!

[LiberalFighter]

28. Are you sure? It would be perfect.

[TomDaisy]

27. I wonder if they were impressed by her breathy little-girl voice.

[sandensea]

39. Why, it always seems to work with daddy

[Baclava]

47. Daddy! Daddy! Hurry, Kiss it and make it better!

[sandensea]

53. "Where, honey? On the veranda?"

"Well, no daddy. My lips would be fine."

[DENVERPOPS]

48. There are far worse (more suggestive) photos than these of those two......

I don't even want to imagine anything about THAT "relationship".......

[sandensea]

52. Incestvanka

Can you IMAGINE if Obama or Biden treated their daughters this way!

[DENVERPOPS]

56. I look at the photos of them since her young pubescent age and get nauseated.

Fathers would NEVER touch their daughters in the places that he has his hands all over Ivanka.
And, I'm sure SHE uses it to get whatever she wants from him.......

[sandensea]

63. +1

The Drumpfs are like those incestuous, amazingly corrupt royal families from the Roman Empire.

One of the shorter-lived, more disastrous ones.

[lindysalsagal]

31. Awesome.

Let's hope they're all terrified.

[NellieStarbuck]

33. Bet she lied her ass off.

[dchill]

36. I don't think "the whole truth and nothing but the truth..."

...is in her genetic makeup.

[Under The Radar]

38. Under oath ...and hope that it can be proven

[TheRickles]

50. Was she actually under oath? Here's hoping....

[Under The Radar]

55. Yes in all depositions a court stenographer/ recorder swears in each "witness"

But I am sure she had the best of Trumps lawyers screening each question before she answered.

[no_hypocrisy]

40. Did she ask Tiffany for any legal advice?

[paleotn]

41. Princes Sparkle Pony! Say it ain't so!

Getting the royal snub at the G20. I love that. Should they really listen to a "handbag entrepreneur"? Umm, noooo.

[BigmanPigman]

42. I think Melania has been named too.

Rachel Maddow mentioned this tonight.

[NoRoadUntravelled]

43. This adds a nice bright spot to the day. nt

[Dark n Stormy Knight]

44. Lie detectors for miles around went berserk.

[Danascot]

45. Get used to it princess

There will be a lot more of that in your be future.

[BainsBane]

46. Prosecutors will be investigating their grifting,

in its many manifestations, for years.

[Lock him up.]

51. Crooked Ivanka.

Now that's Drumpf real projection.

[onetexan]

61. On Rachel Maddow the DC AG said a ballroom normally charged $5k was upped to $175K for the Con's

inaugural committee. Grifters gonna grift.

[calimary]

65. "...at a fair market rate...". Yeah, if you're an opportunistic predator.

Or a predatory opportunist.

Either one fits.

[onetexan]

67. No doubt that was the intention

[calimary]

66. "...at a fair market rate...". Yeah, if you're an opportunistic predator.

Or a predatory opportunist.

Either one fits.

And one more thing?

I feel the urge to add ... “LOCK HER UP!”

[roamer65]

68. LOCK HER UP.
