Ivanka Trump Ordered to Testify in New York Civil Fraud Trial

Ivanka Trump has been ordered by a New York judge to testify at her father's civil fraud trial, despite her attorneys' attempts to quash the subpoena. The judge denied the motion and stated that her testimony should not be scheduled before Wednesday to allow for a potential appeal. Ivanka Trump's attorneys argued that she should not be forced to appear since she was removed as a defendant in the case by an appellate court. However, the judge ruled that she had availed herself of the privilege of doing business in New York and should have submitted an affidavit asserting that she does not live or work in the state. The judge also denied a request for a deposition to be taken in Florida, preferring to hear testimony live in court. Attorneys for the Trumps argued that Ivanka Trump has not lived or worked in New York since 2017, accusing the New York Attorney General of seeking her testimony for media attention.
