- A New York court on Tuesday rejected Donald Trump's latest attempt to avoid testifying in a civil probe.
- The former president and his two eldest children are now set to answer questions under oath next month.
- The court also dismissed Trump's request to stay the subpoenas, according to The Associated Press.
Former President Donald Trump and his two eldest children are set to testify next month in New York Attorney General Letitia James's ongoing civil investigation into his business after the state's top court on Tuesday rejected Trump's latest attempt to avoid being deposed.
Last week, Trump, along with Ivanka and Donald Trump Jr., agreed to answer questions under oath starting July 15, unless the Court of Appeals intervened and granted his most recent appeal.
But on Tuesday, the state's high court denied Trump's appeal, arguing that its intervention in the case was unwarranted, according to The Associated Press. The court also dismissed Trump's request to stay the subpoenas, the outlet reported.
The decision comes after an intermediate appellate court last month ruled in favor of a subpoena for Trump's testimony. Meanwhile, the state's trial court ruled in May that Trump and his children would be deposed, affirming a lower court's previous ruling that James and her office had the "right" to question certain people tied to the Trump Organization.
James has previously said that her office "uncovered significant evidence" suggesting Trump and his organization falsely valued multiple assets and misrepresented the value of such assets for economic benefit.
The former president has accused the three-year investigation of being a political "witch hunt." A representative for Trump did not immediately respond to Insider's request for comment.
