NEW YORK (AP) — New York’s highest court rejected former President Donald Trump’s last-ditch effort to avoid testifying in the state attorney general’s civil investigation into his business practices on Tuesday, clearing the way for his deposition next month.

The state’s Court of Appeals said there was no “substantial constitutional question” that would warrant its intervention in the matter following an intermediate appellate court’s ruling last month enforcing a subpoena for Trump’s testimony.

Trump and his two eldest children, Ivanka and Donald Trump Jr., agreed last week to answer questions under oath starting July 15 unless the Court of Appeals decided to step in.

A messages seeking comment on Tuesday’s ruling was sent to Trump’s lawyer. Alan Futerfas, a lawyer for Ivanka and Donald Trump Jr., declined comment. A message was also left with a spokesperson for Attorney General Letitia James....................................................................

6. Per the OP excerpt - "New York's highest court rejected"

NY state calls what others call a "State Supreme Court", their "Court of Appeals". So there is no higher court to go to.

Just a few weeks ago, a federal court threw out their filing associated with this - https://www.npr.org/2022/05/27/1101801511/trump-lawsuit-new-york-attorney-general-dismissed-letitia-james and it was rejected because per the judge, the federal courts don't get involved in state investigations and will defer the matter to the state courts to resolve.

4. Telling lies under legal oath makes almost everyone suddenly recall the truth. Perjury threat

is non existent anywhere else.

Oath taking and truth telling to hand in hand, he J6 Committee has proven that.
