Trump files appeal against Manhattan judge in latest bid to overturn subpoena
Lawyers for Donald, Donald Jr. and Ivanka claim that Arthur Engoron's ruling failed to properly weigh constitutional and ethical concerns' they'd raised
Donald Trump and his two eldest children continued their fight to overturn a decision requiring the former president to answer questions under oath as part of an investigation into his business practices, filing fresh paperwork on Monday that accused a New York judge of abusing his discretion in issuing the decision.
In papers filed in a state appeals court, lawyers for the former president said that Manhattan judge Arthur Engoron failed to properly weigh constitutional and ethical concerns that they'd raised about the investigation brought by the New York attorney general, Letitia James.
Lawyers for Trump and his two eldest children, Ivanka and Donald Trump Jr., want the appellate division of the state's trial court to overturn Engoron's ruling, which came on 17 February, and invalidate James's subpoenas seeking their testimony.
