Former President Donald Trump has defended his real estate business and presidency during a private deposition with New York Attorney General Letitia James, who is suing him for fraud. In his testimony, released publicly on Wednesday, Trump claimed his company is financially strong and argued that he saved “millions of lives” by preventing nuclear war during his presidency. The lawsuit alleges that Trump fraudulently inflated his net worth by up to 39% on financial statements. Trump’s lawyers have released the deposition transcript ahead of a September 22 hearing that could influence the lawsuit’s outcome before the trial in October.
