Trump will sit through up to seven hours of deposition in feud with celebrity chef A D.C. Superior Court judge ruled Wednesday that President-elect Donald Trump can be deposed in his $10 million contractual dispute against celebrity chef José Andrés. The questioning could last up to seven hours, the previously agreed-upon length. Trump sued Andrés last year after the chef reneged on an agreement to open a restaurant in the real estate mogul-turned-president’s new luxury D.C. hotel. Andrés backed out in protest weeks after Trump declared his presidential candidacy and made comments many saw as denigrating toward undocumented immigrants, especially Mexicans. “More than half of my team is Hispanic, as are many of our guests,” Andrés wrote in July 2015. “I believe that every human being deserves respect, regardless of immigration status.” The judge dismissed arguments from Trump’s lawyers that the president-elect was “extremely busy handling matters of very significant public importance” and ruled the deposition could proceed in early January. Notably, President Bill Clinton sat for a deposition in 1997 when Arkansas state employee Paula Jones accused him of sexual harassment. During the hearing, Clinton also lied about his relationship with White House intern Monica Lewinsky, which precipitated his impeachment by the House of Representatives.
