N.Y.'s highest court rejects Trump bid to avoid testifying in civil probe

What they're saying: The New York Court of Appeals said Tuesday that no "substantial constitutional question" would justify its intervention.

• An intermediate appellate court last month upheld a February decision enforcing the subpoena for Trump's testimony.

The big picture: Trump, who claims the investigation is politically motivated, had previously made an unsuccessful bid to sue James in a separate effort to stop the probe.

• A spokesperson for the Trump Organization did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
