Ivanka Trump to Take the Stand in Ongoing Civil Fraud Trial of her Father and His Business in New York

Ivanka Trump is set to take the stand on Wednesday in the ongoing civil fraud trial of her father and his business in New York. She will be the fourth and final member of the Trump family to testify in the case. The trial is publicly probing into the family business and is examining allegations of fraud tied to false inflation of Donald Trump’s net worth and the value of Trump Organization properties.

Donald Trump and two of his sons are accused of a decade of fraud, and New York Attorney General Letitia James is alleging that Donald Trump’s asset values were fraudulently pumped up for years on financial statements that helped him get loans and insurance. Ivanka Trump is no longer a defendant in the lawsuit.

Donald Trump testified for four hours on Monday, and legal experts say his caustic testimony likely did not help his prospects in the trial. Ivanka Trump’s testimony could be key in determining the outcome of the case. The non-jury trial will decide whether the Trump family must pay restitution and penalties for the alleged fraud.

Ivanka Trump is expected to be questioned on her role in the Trump Organization and her knowledge of the financial statements in question. The trial is expected to last for several weeks. It is unclear how long Ivanka Trump will be on the stand.
