Former President Trump and two of his adult children filed an appeal Monday in opposition to an attempt by New York Attorney General Letitia James to have them sit for depositions.
The Trumps argued that should James want them to testify, she should bring them before a state grand jury, in which witnesses can receive certain immunities.
The appeal is part of the Trump family’s attempt to fight a lower court’s ruling last month that ordered the former president and his two eldest children, Ivanka Trump and Donald Trump Jr., to sit for a deposition amid James’s probe into alleged fraudulent dealings by the Trump Organization.
James and the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office are conducting a separate joint criminal probe into whether Trump lowered property values on his forms for tax agents but raised them to look better for financial lenders.

What a surprise! Typical Trump tactic. Appeal, delay, obstruct.
