Former President Donald Trump has been ordered to answer questions under oath in a lawsuit Monday, and his attorneys could set a date for a deposition in another case, as well.
Attorneys for Trump and his siblings have asked a judge to dismiss the suit, contending that her time to pursue the claims has long since expired. They also pointed to Mary Trump's possession of the records she said she was misled about.
Trump has also filed his own suit against Mary Trump, alleging that she violated their settlement and a nondisclosure agreement.Trump has been hit with at least four lawsuits by Democratic lawmakers and Capitol Police officers over the Jan. 6, which disrupted the official counting of electoral votes for president.
The NAACP and the Michigan Welfare Rights Organization say in the lawsuit, which was filed while Trump was challenging election results in numerous states, that Trump tried "to disenfranchise hundreds of thousands of voters" by pressuring state and local leaders not to certify election results. Trump's attorneys have asked that the case be tossed, saying the plaintiffs are trying to "improperly regulate constitutionally protected speech and to stymie President Trump's efforts to expose widespread voter integrity issues which operated to dilute the voices of voters in Michigan and throughout America."
