May 26, 2022 at 11:50 am EDT By Taegan Goddard
Former President Donald Trump must answer questions under oath in New York states civil investigation into his business practices, a state appeals court ruled Thursday, the AP reports.
Thursdays ruling could mean a tough decision for Trump about whether to answer questions, or stay silent, citing his Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination. Anything Trump says in a civil deposition could be used against him in the criminal probe being overseen by the Manhattan district attorneys office.

OP
Has the Pig run out of appeal courts? If not, the order doesn't mean much, it will be delayed.

Once he runs out of appeals he will refuse, take the fifth or claim ignorance.
IMO, getting the Pig on the stand is an excellent idea though, once there his ego won't allow him to keep quiet and he will perjury himself.

Has he taken this to the SCOTUS yet? In his small mind he's entitled to. Would they even hear it?
