Judge orders Ivanka Trump to testify in her father's New York civil fraud trial
CNBCOCT 2023
Ivanka may have sought to distance herself from the political operations of her father since his defeat in the 2020 presidential election, especially as his legal troubles have worsened recently, but remains involved with the Trump Organization and other plaintiffs. Given that she has relevant personal knowledge about this business fraud case, her testimony will be of great value.
This ruling is a complete absurdity, as an appeals court had ruled earlier this year that Ivanka — no longer an executive for the Trump Organization — couldn't be called to testify in this politically motivated case. As New York Attorney General Letitia James persists in unlawfully harassing the former US first daughter, it's shocking that Engoron makes no effort to conceal his partisanship.
