By Kara Scannell and Kristen Holmes | CNNFormer President Donald Trump is expected to be back in New York City to face another legal battle Thursday — this time in a civil lawsuit filed by New York Attorney General Letitia James, multiple sources told CNN. Trump sat for a deposition for the case in August 2022, when he refused to answer questions, citing his Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination to more than 400 questions. The following month, the attorney general’s office filed the lawsuit seeking $250 million and bans on the Trumps’ ability to operate a business in the state. The deposition has been scheduled this week as part of the discovery process. “Anyone in my position not taking the Fifth Amendment would be a fool, an absolute fool,” Trump said in a video of the deposition released by the Attorney General’s Office.
