(UPDATE) NEW YORK: Donald Trump testified under oath for several hours on Thursday in a New York civil case that accuses the ex-president and three of his children of business fraud. The behind-closed-doors deposition came a week after Trump's historic arraignment on criminal charges in a Manhattan courtroom in a separate case. The lengthy deposition was the second time he had sat for questions in the lawsuit brought by New York State Attorney General Letitia James. James sued Trump, Donald Trump Jr., Eric Trump and Ivanka Trump in September last year, alleging they committed "incredible" fraud at the Trump Organization. Trump, the frontrunner for the Republican nomination in next year's presidential election, has used his common refrain of "witch hunt" to describe the case.
