"Donald Trump and three of his children agreed to be questioned under oath for up to seven hours each in a class-action lawsuit over their yearslong promotion on “Celebrity Apprentice” of a troubled multi-level marketing company.

The former president, along with Donald Trump Jr., Eric Trump, and Ivanka Trump, are among more than a dozen people who will be deposed in June and July, including unspecified contestants on the reality-TV show, lawyers for all those involved in the case said in a letter to a judge Friday night.

They’ll be questioned about Trump’s paid endorsement of ACN Opportunity LLC and its clunky desktop video phones on “Celebrity Apprentice.” Plaintiffs say Trump falsely claimed he wasn’t being paid for the promotions and lied about his belief in the product and the risks involved.

Hope Hicks, former counselor to Trump, and Rhona Graff, Trump’s longtime personal executive assistant, will also be interviewed under oath, while Trump has agreed to hand over transcripts of his past depositions in fraud suits tied to his failed Trump University, according to the filing.

The depositions will by conducted by attorneys at Kaplan Hecker & Fink LLP, whose founder Roberta Kaplan has been a thorn in Trump’s side. She’s also representing Trump’s estranged niece Mary Trump in a fraud suit against the former president, as well as New York advice columnist E. Jean Carroll in a defamation suit against him."....(more)

3. We haven't made enough of this "Republican Party as hideout for scalawags" angle.

Trump is just using the Republican Party as a hideout to keep from having to pay the piper for his misdeeds. Republicans should consider whether they want their party used as a "criminal sanctuary." It's already apparent from the insurrection that Republicans have been sleeping with dogs.
