Fourth Family Member To Take Stand

Ivanka Trump Testifies in Father's Civil Fraud Trial

Fourth Family Member to Take Stand

Ivanka Trump, the eldest daughter of former President Donald Trump, has become the fourth member of the family to testify in a New York court as her father battles a civil fraud trial. Ivanka took the stand on Wednesday, following her father, brother Donald Trump Jr., and sister-in-law Vanessa Trump.

Ivanka Breaks Silence

Ivanka's testimony marked a significant moment in the trial, as she had previously remained silent about her father's legal troubles. In her testimony, she expressed support for her father and defended his conduct.

Memory Lapses

However, Ivanka also admitted to having memory lapses regarding property deals she handled at her father's firm. She said she could not recall specific details of transactions or conversations related to the case.

Co-Defendant Dropped

Ivanka was initially listed as a co-defendant in the case, along with her father and two adult brothers. However, a judge later dropped the charges against her, citing a lack of evidence.

Ongoing Trial

The civil fraud trial is being led by New York Attorney General Letitia James, who has accused the Trump Organization of misleading lenders and investors about the value of its assets. The trial is expected to continue for several more weeks.

Appeal Withdrawn

In a separate development, Ivanka Trump withdrew her appeal of a judge's order requiring her to testify in the case. Her decision to comply with the order signals a willingness to cooperate with the investigation.
