She is the last Trump family member expected to be called to the witness stand by the New York state attorney general. Former President Donald Trump and his two oldest sons already testified.
Ivanka Trump exits the courtroom for a break during the civil fraud trial of her father former President Donald Trump at New York State Supreme Court on Wednesday in New York City.Ivanka Trump's testimony before a New York judge Wednesday offered a glimpse into the strategy former President Donald Trump's legal team could deploy as they begin their defense in the case.
The pattern of questioning by the defense — which sought to establish the fact that no financial institution or anyone else suffered because of the Trump Organization's deals — could be how the defense makes the case that not only did Trump's actions harm no one, banks benefited from them.The former president has often argued that he has done nothing wrong, adding that banks and buyers he dealt with were happy with the negotiations and final results.
"She clearly was involved in negotiating and securing loans, favorable loans, for the benefit of the Trump Organization, for Mr. Trump, for her brothers and for herself," said state Attorney General Letitia James outside the courtroom."At the end of the day, this case is about fraudulent statements of financial condition that she benefited from."
Several months ago, Ivanka Trump's attorney successfully argued that any related actions Ivanka had at the Trump Organization happened before the statute of limitations kicked in. Trump argued he was responsible for providing information to the accounting firm Mazars, which compiled the statements. While answering questions, Trump took jabs at Engoron, James and the trial. He took long tangents when answering questions, which annoyed Engoron, called James a"political hack," and said he thought the trial was unfair.
