It has come to light via Media Ite that the former First Daughter Ivanka Trump recently arrived at the New York City courthouse where her father, former President Donald Trump, is having his civil fraud trial.
Speaking in front of cameras ahead of making her own entrance, New York Attorney General Letitia James vowed to prove Ivanka was “inextricably tied” to her father’s business and “benefited from it personally.”
James outlined to the press what she expected Ivanka to say in her testimony but warned that “you cannot hide from the truth”:
“This morning, we will hear from Ivanka Trump, who will be our last witness on our case on direct in our case against Donald Trump, her brothers, and the Trump Organization. Ivanka Trump secured, negotiated loans to obtain favorable terms based on fraudulent statements of financial condition. And she will attempt today to distance herself from the company.
But unfortunately, the facts will reveal that, in fact, she was very much involved. We uncovered the scheme, and she benefited from it personally. And Miss Trump will do all that she can to try to separate herself from this corporation. But she’s inextricably tied to the Trump Organization and to these properties that she helped secure financing for. So you cannot hide from the truth. And the facts will belie the truth and the evidence. And so we look forward to her testimony. Thank you.”
Ivanka Trump unsuccessfully tried to fight Judge Arthur Engoron’s order to appear in person for testimony due to “undue hardship” related to childcare issues.
