Donald Trump will testify in New York court to defend his business empire

Donald Trump will personally take the stand in Manhattan next year to defend his real-estate and golf-resort empire from New York Attorney General Letitia James' $250 million fraud lawsuit, which seeks to bar his family from doing business in the state.

The revelation came on Tuesday as lawyers for Trump and the attorney general's office clashed heatedly in court over setting a trial schedule.

The trial could determine whether Trump and his three eldest children, Donald Trump, Jr., Ivanka Trump, and Eric Trump, can ever run a corporation in the state again; it is scheduled for October 2, 2023.

Since his presidency, Trump has shunned publicly testifying or even being privately deposed in the many lawsuits he has been involved in.

That late? He'll renege on his promise. Count on it.

I was too busy making money to monitor the bookkeepers. Followed by, "I plea the 5th and I don't remember."

In the end, he will come up with some excuse why he can't do it. A defenddent can't be forced to testif even if he previously said he would.

It's just a media grab. Just like releasing his taxes.
