Donald Trump and two of his children, Ivanka Trump and Donald Trump Jr have agreed to testify in a New York state civil investigation into the former US president's business practices.
State Attorney General Letitia James is investigating whether the Trump Organization misled lenders and tax authorities. The deal came more than six months after Ms James first issued subpoenas for their testimony, which Mr Trump, 75, and the children both in their 40s, fought bitterly in court.The Trumps had argued that testifying in the civil probe would violate their constitutional rights because their words could be used in a related criminal investigation led by Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg.
The long-time chief financial officer of Trump's family company, Allen Weisselberg, was charged with tax fraud in the Manhattan probe last year.
