Trump’s Bid to Avoid July Depositions Is Rebuffed by New York’s Top Court

·1 min read

(Bloomberg) -- Former President Donald Trump’s bid to halt depositions next month in a New York state probe of his family’s real-estate business was rejected by the state’s highest court.

New York’s Court of Appeals on Tuesday denied a request by Trump, Donald Trump Jr. and Ivanka Trump to block their interviews in the case, which are set to begin July 15. The court said that no “substantial” issue involving the state constitution was raised by the Trumps’ case.

Two lower courts have already rejected the claim that the probe by New York Attorney General Letitia James, a Democrat, is politically motivated. James has been examining whether the Trump Organization manipulated asset values to get loans or avoid taxes.

Alina Habba, the lawyer for the Trumps, didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment. The Trumps agreed last week to sit for the depositions unless the Court of Appeals stepped in.

The minutes of the meeting, published by Petrobras on Saturday, showed the committee had asked Andrade about the company's pricing policy, a topic that helped bring down three CEOs during Bolsonaro's tenure as price hikes created tensions with the far-right leader.

    Yields on U.S. Treasurys are rising as the Federal Reserve lifts interest rates to try to cool inflation, a development that could increase the federal government’s borrowing costs over time to levels higher than currently projected. Government spending on net interest costs in the fiscal year that began last October totaled about $311 billion through May, a nearly 30% increase from the same period a year earlier, according to Treasury Department data. While the annual federal deficit has narrowed 79% this fiscal year, the higher borrowing costs are a rising government expenditure at a time when other federal spending is declining and tax revenue is increasing.

In November, the three companies were awarded separate contracts totaling about $60 million to develop an interceptor guided by a constellation of satellites and sensors to intercept a hypersonic missile inside Earth's atmosphere as it glides towards its target.
