Donald Trump is scheduled to be questioned under oath Tuesday (OP note: other article says he left fraud trial to go there, so Tuesday is actually today). as part of lawsuits from two former FBI employees who provoked the former president’s outrage after sending each other pejorative text messages about him.
Can he string together one sentence under oath without committing perjury?
I tried watching a deposition of him, thinking it would be hilarious. It wasn’t, it was very, very, cringe.
Lumpy pillows?! You’re an asshole.
?
That was from the pillow guys deposition. I found it humorous.
Can he string together a full sentence at all?
No, but it’s fun watching him try.
He can when he pleads the 5th repeatedly.
This is a civil trial. While he can technically plead the 5th, it can be used against him.
More than likely yes. He knows court rooms, most of his time as a business owner was spent in court rooms. He doesn’t do the circus act bit in them.
So far.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
WASHINGTON — Donald Trump is scheduled to be questioned under oath Tuesday as part of lawsuits from two former FBI employees who provoked the former president’s outrage after sending each other pejorative text messages about him.
Peter Strzok, who was a lead agent in the FBI’s investigation into ties between Russia and the 2016 Trump campaign, has alleged in a lawsuit against the Justice Department that he was wrongfully fired for exercising his First Amendment rights when he and a colleague traded anti-Trump text messages in the weeks before he became president.
But both U.S. District Judge Amy Berman Jackson and a federal appeals court rebuffed the Justice Department, permitting a two-hour deposition to move forward.
It is set to unfold as Trump contends with four different criminal cases ranging from allegations of scheming to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election to illegally hoarding classified documents at Mar-a-Lago.
Strzok was a lead agent in that probe as well, and he notes in his lawsuit that the inspector general found no evidence that political bias tainted the email investigation.
The text messages, which were disclosed to Justice Department leadership after being discovered by the inspector general, resulted in Strzok being removed from the special counsel team conducting the Trump-Russia investigation.
