Ivanka Trump is scheduled to appear in the New York courtroom of Judge Arthur Engoron on Nov. 8 to give testimony in the ongoing fraud trial against the Trump Organization. Since she was not a trustee of the company during the period covered by the trial, Ivanka isn’t facing any personal consequences. She’s just being called as one of multiple witnesses who have insider knowledge of how the whole scheme to manipulate the value of Donald Trump’s properties worked. Ivanka was named as a central point of contact in the case because she helped to negotiate multiple loans that were based on inflated property valuations.
But Ivanka doesn’t want to testify. So on Thursday, she filed another appeal of Enrogon’s order for her to appear in court. That appeal included a touching argument from Ivanka’s attorneys saying, “Ms. Trump, who resides in Florida with her three minor children, will suffer undue hardship if a stay is denied and she is required to testify at trial in New York in the middle of a school week.”
Yes. Ivanka Trump was asked to testify in the middle of a school week. Despite this horrific imposition, CNN reports that the appeals court has already moved to deny Ivanka’s motion to stay her testimony. Will no one think of the children? Or the nannies.
