The Los Angeles Times quoted Brigida Benitez in a January 12 article titled “Trump has Given Dozens of Depositions in his Lawsuit-Laden Business Career — but he Could Face a Tougher Grilling in the Russia Probe.” The article discusses the possibility that President Trump may be interviewed by special counsel Robert S. Mueller II with regards to Russian meddling in the 2016 US presidential election.
Ms. Benitez, who represented celebrity chef Jose Andres in a dispute with Trump’s hotel in Washington, DC, says that the then-president-elect displayed “confidence” and “probably some measure of arrogance” when she deposed him at Trump Tower during the presidential transition. But she didn’t sense he had prepared for the encounter. She adds, “My impression is that he walks into those situations with little preparation, feeling like he can just wing it.”
