Former President Donald Trump has been ordered to give testimony under oath Monday in a lawsuit brought by a group of demonstrators who say his security guards roughed them up outside Trump Tower in New York.

The suit is one of at least 10 civil cases pending against Trump. The videotaped deposition — which will be played as Trump's testimony when the case goes to trial — will be his first since he was elected president in 2016.

The demonstrators' suit was filed in late 2015, and Trump's attorneys have tried many times to block him from testifying since then, including arguing in 2019 that he was too busy with his presidential duties.

1. If he doesn't show, then the court will issue an order of contempt.

And then what?

2. This is a start

The longest journey begins with a single step

9. I don't believe that will be the outcome. Rather, it will be the outcome playing out in the Alex

Jones case. He failed to present to court and the court issued a judgement against him. = Plaintiff's won.


That would be the same with the Gropenfuhrer.. Plaintiffs will win the case but then have difficulty collecting. They will be able to put liens on his property and banking accounts.
