(CNN)A New York state judge ruled Wednesday that Eric Trump must sit to be deposed by the state attorney general's office by October 7, denying his request to delay an interview as part of an investigation into the Trump Organization until after the presidential election, according to the attorney general's office.
Trump, the President's son and the executive vice president of the Trump Organization, had proposed the deposition take place after the November 3 election.
An attorney for the company wrote in a recent court filing that the delay should be made to accommodate "Mr. Trump's extreme travel schedule and related unavailability between now and the election, and to avoid the use of his deposition attendance for political purposes." A lawyer for Trump declined to comment on the ruling.
