Former President Trump on Monday appealed a New York judge’s order that he comply with the state attorney general’s subpoena for his testimony as part of a wide-ranging civil investigation into his business practices.
Trump’s lawyers filed a notice that they were seeking a review from the state appellate court after Judge Arthur Engoron earlier this month ordered the former president and his two eldest children to sit for a deposition with the attorney general’s office.
Engoron’s ruling this month rejected Trump’s effort to quash the subpoenas and prevent New York Attorney General Letitia James (D) from moving forward with her probe.
“In the final analysis, a State Attorney General commences investigating a business entity, uncovers copious evidence of possible financial fraud, and wants to question, under oath, several of the entities’ principals, including its namesake. She has the clear right to do so,” Engoron wrote in the decision.

Typical Trump tactic. Appeal and delay as much as possible in the hope the adversary will give up. But I don’t see this AG giving up.
