ruling is almost certain to be appealed. shackleton's. he's got the latest from washington, dc. this'll status from the new york state journey attorney general's investigation into whether she should launch a civil lawsuit against donald trump. for the allegation or we've heard before actually about the trouble organisation would inflate the value of its assets like golf courses or skyscrapers. when it suited it, for example, when it's trying to get a loan, and it would deflate the value of those assets when it didn't see them to have high, high value assets like what it's paying its taxes. so latisha, james is trying to decide whether to, to put through a civil, a civil lawsuit in this file. so she wants these depositions. she says, but that puts trump out, have a 2 children into an interesting situation because they'll be under oath. and either they answer the questions which case they baby open to child is a perjury or they invoke the 5th amendment be right against self incrimination.

it's protected in the constitution. but that also has potential drawbacks for trump in a civil suit. unlike a criminal suit, if you do in the 1st amendment a jury, if this does come to trial, can infer, but you're not answering the questions because you may have done something wrong that's, that's different to a criminal. a criminal law suit in the u. s. thomas lawyers saying, wait a 2nd, you're trying to get a deposition of the way man, but the 5th he may actually speak, it want to bypass the laws of the criminal investigation that's also on the way. and that's not very sneaky. and at the very least, we should have a stay on the civil investigation while the criminal investigations on underwear as well. but also one of his lawyer said, look, if trump were to invoke the 5th amendment, potentially hundreds of times as part of the civil law suit that everyone will know about it. it will be on the front page of every newspaper and that will make it very difficult for trying to get a fair trial if the criminal investigation reaches some sort of fruition every very difficult jury selection. so that is a complicated case here, and we wouldn't really know whether this even happens or anything until we see what
