NYAG, Trump family agree to postpone depositions
Source: The Hill.com
New York Attorney General Letitia James has reached a deal with the lawyers of former President Trump and his two eldest children to postpone depositions until a decision is made regarding their appeal over testifying.
An attorney for James office wrote in a letter dated Thursday that both parties had agreed to an expedited briefing schedule set to finish by March 31.
In the interest of efficiency for both the parties and the court, and to allow time for the [appeals court] to hear the appeal, we have therefore agreed to the attached Stipulation and Proposed Order to extend the time for the Trump Respondents to appear for testimony until two weeks after a decision by the [appeals court], Kevin Wallace, an attorney for James office, wrote.
This extension would avoid the need for separate briefing over an application by the Trump Respondents for an interim stay during the pendency of the appeal, he added. Given the expedited merits briefing we believe a stipulated extension of the testimony date will promote judicial economy without causing undue delay.

The judicial system in this country is designed to give the criminals more rights than the plaintiffs. Some people say it goes too far (me) and some people say it's necessary to make sure justice is fair for everyone. Of course, the wealthy will always take advantage of every loophole they can find or manufacture. That would be the Trump family. They've raised it to an art form.
Our AG isn't going to let them off any hook whatsoever. She knows how the Trumps are, and she's giving them all the rope they need to hang themselves.
Be patient. I know, I hate it too, but the Trumps are near the end of their crime spree. Very near.

(1,123 posts)like this case is eventually going to land in the same 'filing cabinet' as the case with the Manhattan DA?

(15,222 posts)Very disappointed. I thought Letecia James was supposed to be tough and get results. Trumps are getting what they want here.
Judicial economy? They need to be making Trump bleed legal fees, not making things convenient for him.

Sure, but if he drops dead while trying to prolong things, who cares anyway.

(21,359 posts)attacking her is silly. The delay is only until the Appeals court makes its decision and both sides agreed to expedite the decision.

I doubt they ever will be deposed.

Are there odds on whether any of them will be prosecuted?

(300 posts)This is never going to happen. They will delay and delay until 2024, then Trump will win the election. And America is done.
I wish I could be more positive but they win delay after delay.
