How and when were the depositions of Donald Trump and his children rescheduled after July 2022 in the New York AG investigation?

1. The pause: death of Ivana Trump prompted an immediate adjournment

On July 15, 2022, the New York Attorney General’s office publicly agreed to a request from counsel for Donald Trump and his children to adjourn depositions that had been set to begin that week, citing Ivana Trump’s recent death and calling the delay temporary while promising the sessions would be rescheduled “as soon as possible” ^{[1] [5] [3]}.

2. How the delay was requested and justified by counsel

Lawyers for the Trumps formally asked for the adjournment the day after Ivana Trump’s death, and AG Letitia James’s office accepted that request—an accommodation framed in public statements as a brief humanitarian pause rather than a change to the court’s prior orders mandating testimony ^{[6] [5] [7]}.

3. What reporting confirms about when depositions were actually rescheduled

While multiple news outlets quoted the AG’s pledge to set new dates “as soon as possible,” those same contemporaneous reports said there was no immediate information on new deposition dates for Donald Trump, Donald Jr. or Ivanka at the time of the announcement ^{[2] [3] [5]}. Separately, a summary of the case’s timeline indicates former President Trump later sat for a sworn deposition on August 10, 2022 ^[4]; the provided news stories contemporaneous to the July pause did not themselves list that August date.

4. The broader legal timetable and how the pause fit into it

The adjournment came against the backdrop of a months‑long legal fight: courts had compelled depositions to begin July 15 after appeals were exhausted and a March agreement set the July timeline unless a stay was granted ^{[8] [9] [10]}. The leave to delay for bereavement did not alter those underlying court rulings in any of the cited reports—the AG’s office characterized the decision as temporary and procedural rather than a retreat from enforcement of subpoenas ^{[1] [7]}.

5. Competing narratives and implicit agendas around the delay

Media accounts recorded two competing frames: the AG’s office presented the delay as a short, humane pause that would not derail the investigation ^{[3] [7]}, while Trump’s camp framed any scheduling disputes as part of broader legal maneuvers to limit questioning—an argument that had already featured in prior appeals and filings seeking stays or location changes for depositions ^{[8] [4]}. Readers should note that contemporaneous reporting emphasized the AG’s insistence the probe would continue, suggesting the pause was tactical and narrow in scope rather than a substantive change in prosecutorial strategy ^{[1] [5]}.

6. What the sources do not establish and why that matters

The assembled reporting repeatedly quotes the AG’s promise to reschedule and records the formal request and acceptance of an adjournment ^{[2] [5]}, but the provided sources do not include a comprehensive public schedule for the rescheduled sessions of Donald Trump Jr. or Ivanka Trump; thus any definitive statement about their later dates or the precise mechanics of their rescheduling cannot be supported from these documents alone ^{[1] [6]}. One source aggregation does state Donald Trump was later deposed August 10, 2022 ^[4], but the contemporaneous news releases around the July pause did not themselves announce that follow‑up date ^{[2] [3]}.

Conclusion

In short: the July 2022 depositions were put on hold at counsel’s request after Ivana Trump’s death and the New York AG’s office agreed to reschedule “as soon as possible,” with immediate reporting offering no firm calendar for the three witnesses; available timeline summaries show Donald Trump’s deposition later took place on August 10, 2022, while the provided sources do not conclusively document the later dates for Donald Jr. and Ivanka ^{[1] [2] [3] [4]}. Any fuller chronology of the rescheduled sessions for the children would require sources beyond those supplied here.
