Watch a view of Trump Tower on Thursday, 13 April, as the former US president was set to give a deposition in New York.

New York attorney general Letitia James sued Mr Trump and his Trump Organization in September 2022 for fraud.

Ms James' lawsuit alleges that Mr Trump and the group of business entities misled banks and others by providing false financial statements that misstated the value of assets such as golf courses and hotels bearing Mr Trump's name.

The attorney general is seeking $250m and a ban on Mr Trump doing business in the state.

It comes after Mr Trump was arraigned last week on felony charges in a separate criminal case involving hush-money payments made during the 2016 presidential campaign to try and hide claims of extramarital sexual encounters that Mr Trump says did not occur.
