The former president remained in Florida as the powerful storm was due to hit the state on Wednesday.
"In actual fact, we thought it absolutely absurd to travel from the New York area to West Palm Beach in the middle of a hurricane and would have been pleased to reschedule the deposition to another date, but Plaintiffs insisted that it proceed," Robert wrote.
"Now that we have all traveled to West Palm Beach, and are currently sitting in the middle of a hurricane while Plaintiffs' counsel enjoys the comforts of home, Plaintiffs have the gall to request that the deposition for which Defendants spent considerable time and resources preparing be cancelled less than 48 hours prior to its scheduled date and time."
Robert also criticized the suggestion Trump is acting"unreasonable" by staying in Florida and that he is"ready, willing and able to proceed" with his deposition on Friday. Trump's legal team suggested the hearing could be conducted via Zoom for the safety of all parties. In her ruling, Cave said that as it is still"uncertain" that the deposition could take place even remotely on Friday despite the severity of Ian now being downgraded, the deadline for Trump's deposition has now been extended to October 31.
