Ivanka Trump to testify in father’s trial following judge’s ruling.
Ivanka Trump Ordered to Testify in Father’s Trial
In a dramatic turn of events, Ivanka Trump has been summoned to testify in court next week in the civil lawsuit against her family’s business in New York. Despite no longer holding an executive position in the Trump Organization, the former President’s eldest daughter must appear alongside her brothers before the case concludes. Ivanka Trump challenged the demand to testify, but Judge Arthur Engoron ruled in favor of the New York Attorney General’s office, stating that her testimony is necessary. This ruling has sparked controversy and the Trump family’s legal team has accused the office of harassment. Nevertheless, Ivanka Trump is likely to take the stand on November 3rd, followed by her brothers. The trial is expected to conclude shortly after Donald Trump’s testimony on November 6th.
Controversy Surrounding the Trial
The lawsuit, filed by New York Attorney General Letitia James, alleges that Donald Trump inflated his company’s assets for years to secure favorable loans and insurance offers, amounting to $250 million. Trump has vehemently denied these claims, labeling the lawsuit as politically motivated. The trial has also drawn attention to Judge Arthur Engoron, who has faced scrutiny for his conduct during the proceedings. Additionally, a highly questionable assessment of the value of Trump’s Mar-a-Lago property has further fueled the controversy. While the Trump family believes the property is worth over $1 billion, the judge assessed its value to be between $18 million and $27 million.
Despite the ongoing legal battles, Ivanka Trump’s involvement in the trial is significant. Although she is no longer affiliated with the Trump Organization, the Attorney General’s office argues that she possesses intricate knowledge of the business and remains financially and professionally intertwined with the defendants. While an appeals court previously ruled that Ivanka Trump could not be subpoenaed to testify, Judge Engoron’s recent ruling has overturned that decision.
As the trial unfolds, the outcome remains uncertain, and the Trump family continues to face legal challenges. The Western Journal will closely follow the developments and provide you with the important information you need to stay informed about this high-profile case.
