Usually, Trump’s lawyers are running from having their client deposed under oath, but for some reason, this time, the former president is refusing to delay or move his deposition away from his beloved Mar-a-Lago estate.
According to Bloomberg, the former president is scheduled to be deposed Friday amid a lesser-known 2018 class action lawsuit related to a desktop videophone, an ACN product he hawked on Celebrity Apprentice. Trump, along with his three children, Ivanka, Eric, Donald Trump Jr., and the Trump Corporation, were all sued by investors after they claimed they were fooled into paying to become independent sellers of the failed phones.
Attorneys for the investors say they offered to postpone the hearing as Hurricane Ian hit the Florida coast, arguing that the situation was too dangerous to meet in person. But Trump’s lawyers fought back, saying they needed the former president to give his deposition under oath on Friday—and that he would only do it from Mar-a-Lago.
