Reuters is reporting that a Washington judge has ordered Republican President-elect Donald Trump to give a deposition in a lawsuit against celebrity chef Jose Andres stemming from Trump’s disparaging remarks about Mexican immigrants.
Superior Court Judge Jennifer Di Toro on Wednesday directed Trump to testify in New York about Andres’ restaurant deal at Trump’s luxury Washington hotel. She set a time limit of seven hours on the event and ordered that it will take place during the first week of January.
“Trump is suing Andres for $10 million over breach of contract after Andres backed out of a plan to open a restaurant in the Trump International Hotel a few blocks from the White House,” writes . Andres has said he canceled the project after Trump denounced Mexican immigrants in June 2015 as drug dealers and rapists.
