According to court filings in the Southern District of New York, John Quinn — the lawyer representing the class of individuals who feel they were defrauded by Trump and his affiliation with ACN Opportunity — said the former president “refused” to relocate the deposition from South Florida, despite the ongoing threat of Hurricane Ian and suggestions to relocate the deposition to New Jersey, where Trump has another golf club.
Per Quinn’s letter, Trump’s legal team did not respond to calls or emails with concerns about the weather and instead went to Palm Beach, where the deposition would take place on Friday as planned, they said on Tuesday ahead of Ian making landfall.
