Trump and adult children to testify in New York court


  • English
  • Arabic

Former US president Donald Trump and two of his children, Donald Trump Jr and Ivanka Trump, have agreed to testify in a New York state investigation of his business practices, a court document showed on Wednesday.

The Trumps are scheduled to testify beginning on July 15, but they have until June 13 to ask New York state's highest court, the Court of Appeals, to further delay any testimony.

The testimony would be postponed if that court issued a stay.

The agreement came after an intermediate state appeals court denied the Trumps' bid to avoid testimony.

They had argued that testifying in the civil probe would breach their constitutional rights because their words could be used in a related criminal investigation led by Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg.

New York state Attorney General Letitia James says her more than three-year investigation has found evidence that the Trump Organisation — which manages hotels, golf courses and other real estate throughout the world — misstated asset valuations to get benefits such as favourable loans and tax breaks.

Mr Trump, a Republican, has denied any wrongdoing and has called the investigation politically motivated because Ms James is a Democrat.

Gertrude Bell's life in focus

A feature film

At one point, two feature films were in the works, but only German director Werner Herzog’s project starring Nicole Kidman would be made. While there were high hopes he would do a worthy job of directing the biopic, when Queen of the Desert arrived in 2015 it was a disappointment. Critics panned the film, in which Herzog largely glossed over Bell’s political work in favour of her ill-fated romances.

A documentary

A project that did do justice to Bell arrived the next year: Sabine Krayenbuhl and Zeva Oelbaum’s Letters from Baghdad: The Extraordinary Life and Times of Gertrude Bell. Drawing on more than 1,000 pieces of archival footage, 1,700 documents and 1,600 letters, the filmmakers painstakingly pieced together a compelling narrative that managed to convey both the depth of Bell’s experience and her tortured love life.

Books, letters and archives

Two biographies have been written about Bell, and both are worth reading: Georgina Howell’s 2006 book Queen of the Desert and Janet Wallach’s 1996 effort Desert Queen. Bell published several books documenting her travels and there are also several volumes of her letters, although they are hard to find in print. Original documents are housed at the Gertrude Bell Archive at the University of Newcastle, which has an online catalogue.
