Lawyers for investors in a troubled multilevel marketing company promoted for years by Donald Trump said a long-sought review of unaired footage from his “Celebrity Apprentice” reality-TV show has bolstered their plan to depose the former president in April.
Investors in ACN Opportunity LLC, which Trump endorsed for a decade in exchange for millions of dollars in reimbursements, won access to MGM’s studio in Hollywood to review the tapes as part of their suit claiming Trump ripped them off by promoting bogus products he didn’t really believe in.
