Donald Trump deposition completed earlier Thursday....completed? the media barely mentioned this

[spanone]

(CNN)President-elect Donald Trump completed a deposition Thursday over his legal battle against chef José Andrés, Trump transition team spokeswoman Hope Hicks told CNN.

Trump sued Andres for breach of contract after the chef backed out of a plan for a restaurant in Trump's new luxury hotel in Washington. Andres claimed he canceled plans for the project after Trump made disparaging remarks about Mexican immigrants during his presidential campaign.

Trump's attorneys previously agreed to his deposition in New York, but sought to limit the length and scope of questioning, arguing in court filings that "Mr. Trump is not just any apex deponent; he is the President-elect ... It is not an overstatement that he is extremely busy handling matters of very significant public importance."

But DC Superior Court Judge Jennifer A. Di Toro ruled in December that limiting Trump's examination would be too prejudicial to the defense team's right to prepare the case for trial, and "Mr. Trump's own statements are at the heart" of the parties' claims.

1. Media can't report on but one thing at a time unless..

2. It's basically a contract dispute

Why should the media bore us with this? Trumps the one suing.

5. if Hillary had won and had a deposition, i fear the media wouldn't be so kind to 'crooked' Hillary

12. The media is evil as are the Trumpies who mock Democrats on Democratic sites.

Don't you agree, yeoman6987?

[DLevine]

13. Agreed. nt

11. It is more than just a contract dispute.

Trump is suing a chef who backed out of a restaurant deal because he was offended by Trump calling Mexicans rapists. If that had been Hillary, don't you think the media would be raking her over the coals, first for being racist, second for suing someone offended by her racism?

There is a double standard, no question about it.

14. Defending Trump again, yeoman6987?

15. Trump suing someone for $10 million bores you?

A suit that came about because Trump based his campaign on anti-Mexican bigotry?

Yes, it's news. This it Not Normal. It's unprecedented for a president-elect to be so bigoted that all kinds of people refuse to do business with him. And for one to try to use the courts to make up for his bigotry.

9. You just linked to a cnn report.

And its being reported by other news organizations, such as the NY Daily News.
And there were a number of stories earlier in the week about the upcoming deposition. I don't think the world was waiting breathlessly for word that it had been completed.

10. Said with a straight face?

"It is not an overstatement that he is extremely busy handling matters of very significant public importance."

Dammit your honor there's Tweeting to be done.
