New York Attorney General Letitia James plans to call former President Donald Trump and three of his adult children to testify at his civil fraud trial set to begin in New York next week, court documents showed.
Trump, Donald Trump Jr., Eric Trump and Ivanka Trump are among the 28 names on James’ list of fact witnesses to be called in the case.
Also on that list are Michael Cohen, Trump’s former fixer and personal lawyer, and Allen Weisselberg, the former chief financial officer of the Trump Organization.
The defendants in the case submitted their own list of 128 witnesses, which also includes Trump and his two oldest sons.
The two lists were filed Wednesday to New York Supreme Court Judge Arthur Engoron, who a day earlier had ruled that Trump and his company were liable for fraudulently overstating the values of numerous assets.
Engoron in that searing ruling also stripped Trump and the Trump Organization of their business certificates, and sanctioned multiple defense attorneys for repeatedly making frivolous arguments.
