NEW: Court rules that Trump, Ivanka, and Don Jr. must testify under oath in New York's investigation into the Trump Organization's financial dealings

"The existence of a criminal investigation does not preclude civil discovery of related facts, at which a party may exercise the privilege against self-incrimination," the panel wrote in their decision.

Additionally, the panel held: "[t]he civil investigation was initiated in March 2019 after testimony before Congress by Michael Cohen, ... in which Cohen alleged that respondent The Trump Organization, Inc. had issued fraudulent financial statements." "This sequence of events suggests that the investigation was lawfully initiated at its outset and well founded, apart from any parallel criminal investigation undertaken by the District Attorney.""Our investigation will continue undeterred because no one is above the law," James said.

May GOD be with President Trump and his family and protect him from those evil Democrats🙏🙏🙏❤❤❤❤❤

The DEMS are bankrupting all the Trump family. Trump family earned their wealth. They are smart. DEMS depend income from taxpayers. Taxpayers pay their overstated salaries plus tons of benefits. They behave like they own the country.

This crap only started because of a corrupt politician. In which the media carried their lies. Because there are only a few in the media who have integrity. Leaving the WH richer after serving. No investigation of charities. No charges after destroying government equipment.

The answer is to get rid of the divisive and overly opportunistic Letitia James, and support DJT and family from this evil persecution.

Well set the standard then and we can start going after the corrupt politicians and the corrupt courts system who do not follow the law .

This is relentless political witch hunt. Refused to investigate massive crimes of Hillary Clinton. The worst crimes in US political history. Instead the innocent victim you continue to destroy.

No MULEHEAD lawyers allowed.

The shit 💩 is gonna hit the fan 👍

When? How soon?

If Trump is convicted and fined then Biden will go to the electric chair with his son on his lap! Sounds fair.

He’ll just appeal this decision.

“…doesn’t want to testify because it could be used against him in the NY criminal trial” Do you mean the criminal trial where the prosecutors quit and the grand jury expired and the DA appears to have no interest?

And if they don't, then what? The American justice system is toothless & irrelevant in the face of Trump & his ilk.

Oh snap

LockThemUp

Did they rule they have to tell the truth?No, they'll just take the 5th.
