AP Explains: Trump gives 2nd deposition in NYC

Former President Donald Trump spent hours at the offices of New York's attorney general Thursday for his second deposition in a legal battle over his company's business practices, with his lawyer signaling that he was answering questions this time instead of invoking his Fifth Amendment protection against self-incrimination. The Republican met with lawyers for Attorney General Letitia James, who sued Trump last year. Her lawsuit claims Trump and his family misled banks and business associates by giving them false information about his net worth and the value of assets such as hotels and golf courses. The lawsuit is unrelated to the felony criminal charges filed against Trump by the Manhattan district attorney, which led last week to his historic arraignment, the first for a former president. In a social media post Thursday morning, Trump called the suit “ridiculous, just like all of the other Election Interference cases being brought against me." He raised his fist as he left his apartment at Trump Tower, with his motorcade arriving at the attorney general's office at around 9:42 a.m. Trump was still in the building more than five hours later. James declined to answer a question about the deposition at a news conference on an unrelated matter Wednesday. Trump previously met with James' lawyers Aug. 10, but refused to answer all but a few procedural questions, invoking his Fifth Amendment rights more than 400 times. At the time, James had not yet brought her lawsuit and it was unclear whether questions about the way Trump valued his company would become the basis of a criminal case. The lawsuit James brought is scheduled to go to trial in October. Video recordings of Trump's depositions could potentially be played at the trial, if the lawsuit is not settled
