New York Attorney General Letitia James opened a civil inquiry in 2019 into claims that - before he took office - Mr Trump had inflated the value of his assets to banks when seeking loans. Donald Jr, 44, and Ivanka, 40, were ordered to give evidence. However, they have refused to testify to the fraud inquiry in their family business.
Mr Trump's lawyers are trying to stop Ms James from questioning the former US president and his children. They have asked a judge to quash the "unprecedented and unconstitutional" bid for their testimony.
 Donald Jr and Eric had taken over control of the company along with Allen Weisselberg, chief financial officer, when their father took office in January 2017. Ivanka also worked at the Trump Organization, before becoming a senior White House adviser.
