(CNN)Former President Donald Trump and his two adult sons have agreed to sit for depositions in May and June as part of a class-action lawsuit alleging they collaborated with a fraudulent marketing company.

The former President agreed to be deposed on June 16 while Eric Trump will sit for questioning on May 12 and Donald Trump Jr. on May 10, according to a letter filed with the court. The letter said a date for Ivanka Trump's deposition had not been proposed.

The lawsuit, which was filed in 2018, alleges that in exchange for "secret" payments, Trump and three of his adult children used his reality TV show "The Celebrity Apprentice" and other promotional events as vehicles to boost ACN Opportunity, a telecommunications marketing company linked to a nonprofit that used Trump's brand to appeal to teens.

The Trumps are accused of pocketing millions in payments between 2005 and 2015 to promote what they described as promising business opportunities: ACN Opportunity, as well as the Trump Network, a vitamin and health product marketing company, and The Trump Institute, a seminar program that "purported to sell Trump's 'secrets to success,'" according to the lawsuit.

1. I'll believe it

when I see it or after they have been deposed.

[SayItLoud]

2. Just revealed: Their answers to the first 100 questions....

I take the 5 th.

Delay delay DELAY....

[Cronezilla]

6. And...

That handy old standby- "I do not recall."

[bluestarone]

3. Yea, i'm betting TFG will get copies of EVERY

Question that are asked.

[Scrivener7]

4. Suuuuure they will.

[Comfortably_Numb]

5. Well.......isn't that special... the rest shall remain unsaid.

[TNNurse]

7. I am so ignorant.

I never thought depositions or subpoena were voluntary. I thought you just had to do it.

[NYC Liberal]

13. They aren't. They're basically agreeing not to fight it anymore.

[Botany]

8. Is this a new grift or is it an old one?

ACN Opportunity, a telecommunications marketing company aka a pyramid scheme? Just guessing.

[Evolve Dammit]

9. The "fact" that they "agreed" tells me there are no issues of any significance for them to worry.

[oldsoftie]

10. The "secret" is; get people to give them their money. Profit!!

[ificandream]

11. I'll bet they cop out of the depositions as they get closer.

Especially if it looks like they'll have to reveal financial details.

[FakeNoose]

12. They must have figured out who's getting blamed

... otherwise they'd never agree to this. Somebody's going under the bus, I guarantee it. I'm betting on Michael Cohen or Allen Weisselberg. Anybody else got an idea? We could start a pool.

14. What could possibly be the "due process" justification for subpoena fights lasting two years.

[malthaussen]

15. I am so tired of this "agree to be deposed, agree to testify" noise.

If it were you or I, our asses would be in the slam the first time we thought about telling the prosecutor "no."

16. Months away. why??????

[Jack-o-Lantern]

17. Because they can, because they are privileged, because of who they are.

Justice is not equal in this country.

[Jetheels]

18. Oh so they have a choice in the matter? pleeeeeze, anyone else would be locked up by now.

[llashram]

19. somehow Ivanka using the WH brand

to leave Washington with her 'parent' with 640 million dollars she DID NOT come in with seems worth investigating...to me. But that's just me.
