Trump refuses to testify in civil investigation into his property

Former US President Donald Trump refused to answer questions in the New York civil investigation.

Former US President Donald Trump said on Wednesday that he refused to answer questions at the New York civil investigation.

Trump, who arrived earlier Wednesday at the New York City Attorney General's office to question his property, wrote on the "Truth Social" platform: "I will see Letitia James (Attorney of the State of New York) to continue the greatest witch hunt in the history of the United States!", according to the network. CNN".

"My great company and I are under attack from all sides, this is the Banana Republic," he added.

According to the Associated Press, the civil investigation led by Attorney General Leticia James includes allegations that Trump companies misrepresented the value of valuable assets, such as golf courses and real estate towers, and misled lenders and tax authorities.

These developments come after the FBI raided, on Monday, Trump's residence in the Mar-A-Lago mansion in Florida.

In a statement, Trump claimed that FBI agents "broken his personal safe and confiscated what was in it."

Informed sources told the Associated Press that the raid was carried out with judicial permission and with the approval of the Director of the FBI and the Minister of Justice, in search of missing secret government documents that Trump refused to hand over after leaving the White House.
