Ivanka Trump's Testimony Reveals Legal Strategies and Family Dynamics

Ivanka Trump testified for four hours in a civil fraud lawsuit brought by New York's attorney general, maintaining a composed and polite demeanor while repeatedly stating "I don't recall" in response to questions about her knowledge of her father's financial statements. Legal experts suggest that this strategy is common in business cases, allowing executives to argue that they handle numerous issues and interact with many people daily. The timing of the alleged instances and documents, which date back ten or more years, further supports her lack of recall. Experts believe that her testimony is unlikely to have a significant impact on the trial's outcome, and her appearance on the stand may even play into the narrative of a political witch hunt, according to some observers.
