Donald Trump Jr. is deposed by D.C. Attorney General Karl Racine regarding an investigation into the Trump family using the 2017 Presidential Inaugural Committee to funnel money to their own companies.
The District of Columbia filed its lawsuit against the 58th Presidential Inaugural Committee last year, alleging funds were misused to enrich the Trump family. Among other accusations, the suit alleged the committee was overcharged for services at the Trump International Hotel, with more than $1 million spent at the hotel, including for a private party for Mr. Trump’s three older children.
