Ivanka Trump, the eldest daughter of former President Donald Trump, is being forced to testify against him in a civil fraud case in New York. This comes after Judge Arthur Engoron denied a motion from Ivanka's lawyers to dismiss a subpoena for her testimony.
Trump's lawyer Christopher Kise argued that the subpoena was unjustified, and accused Attorney General Letitia James of using it as an opportunity to make a spectacle out of the case. Kise said that James was trying to create "another circus day" by having Ivanka appear in court, and that the subpoena was simply an act of "continued harassment of President Trump's children".
Engoron said that Ivanka had availed herself of the privilege of doing business in New York, and that an affidavit stating that she does not currently reside or work in New York would have been too late. He added that her testimony should not be held before Wednesday, to give her time to appeal.
Trump Jr. is set to testify on Wednesday, followed by Eric on Thursday and Ivanka on Friday. The former president is scheduled to take the stand on November 6. In June, an appeals court dismissed Ivanka as a defendant in James' $250 million lawsuit against Trump, his children and executives working for the Trump Organization, as the claims against her were too old.
