Ivanka Trump must testify against her father at her father’s New York civil fraud trial, Judge Engoron, who oversees the case, ruled on Friday. He denied a motion to quash a subpoena, but gave her until Wednesday to appeal.
Ivanka Trump’s attorney had argued that she should not be forced to appear after an appellate court removed her as a defendant in the case. She also hasn’t done business in New York since 2017.
“Ms. Trump has clearly availed herself of the privilege of doing business in New York,” Engoron said.
The judge also said Ivanka Trump should have submitted an affidavit asserting that she does not live or work in the state presently. “Only she can tell us that, and it’s too late to do that now,” Engoron said.
Donald Trump’s children are expected to be called to testify next week, and the former president could be called in to testify the week after that, the attorney general’s office said in court Friday.
After the children testify, the attorney general’s office expects to call Trump as its final witness the week of November 6.
Donald Trump’s attorney, Chris Kise, called the subpoena “continued harassment of President Trump’s children.”
“They just want another free-for-all on one of President Trump’s children,” Kise said. “They want her in the courtroom so it can be filled with media, and we can have another circus day.”
Ivanka Trump had initially been listed as a co-defendant – along with Donald Trump, Eric Trump, Donald Trump Jr., and several Trump Organization executives.
She was dismissed as a co-defendant because the claims against her were too old.
Pathetic prune of a clown just wants to meet Ivanka.
“The judge also said Ivanka Trump should have submitted an affidavit asserting that she does not live or work in the state presently. “Only she can tell us that, and it’s too late to do that now,” Engoron said.”
That’s exactly what the appellate court said…. I guess he doesn’t read higher court opinions very well..
Really. She can claim the 5th if she believes testifying may jeopardize her own freedom. I wouldn’d testify against my father. I would have to be kept in a cell for contempt. This opens the door for Hunter to testify against his father so republicans shouldn’t have any reservations about it.
Perhaps someone should ask Ivanka about her numerous trips with her mom on Lolita Express? Still can’t believe people blindly following and defending the WarpSpeed poisoner, There were many signs and clues going back decades. Trump said about Clinton…”She had suffered enough” as a response to “Lock her up” chants at his 1st speech after winning. Like most of these… Read more »

Trump should pay you rent for living inside your head. TDS much?
“The judge also said Ivanka Trump should have submitted an affidavit asserting that she does not live or work in the state presently. ‘Only she can tell us that, and it’s too late to do that now,’ Engoron said.” Maybe those of us in border states should watch out. New York might assume that everyone in the country lives in NYC and begin… Read more »
Long after Rush moved from the corruption of NY to Florida and took his assets and business interests with him, NY continued trying to impose their taxes on him.
And California has considered taxing wealthy people who move from their corrupt state.
Someone please take that POS out behind the barn and teach him a thing or two about morals and ethics, preferably with a Louisville Slugger, Secondly, courts cannot “force” family members to testify against each other. Yes family members can do so if they chose which would then be on the side of the prosecution. This judicial overreach is beyond… Read more »
Just take the 5th.
Or Hillary’s defense, “I don’t recall.”
