'Although saying 'I don't recall' can seem evasive, it's likely the smart thing to do legally,' an expert told Newsweek.
New York Attorney General Letitia James was happy to use Ivanka Trump's forgetful testimony as the final evidence in her father's fraud trial because there was no jury to impress, a legal expert has said.Ivanka Trump had spent two years trying to avoid giving evidence in the civil fraud trial and was confirmed as a witness less than a week before her court appearance on Wednesday.
'As Ivanka Trump seems to be out of the case, with apparently little chance of being pulled back in, then for her own wellbeing, an answer of 'I do not recall' would seem to not affect herself much at all, one way or the other,' Golden said.'Assuming she is telling the truth, that she does not recall, then of course this was a wise decision for her to say so.'Perhaps the state was hoping that she would admit to at least certain details against her father or his entities.
