New Delhi, AYT News | Ivanka Trump appeared as a witness in a civil fraud case involving the Trump Organization. The case alleges asset inflation to secure loans, with former President Donald Trump and his two sons previously found liable.
Challenges in Her Testimony
Ivanka Trump, initially a co-defendant, fought to avoid testifying, citing concerns about leaving her children in Florida during the school week. However, court rulings compelled her to testify. The trial involves allegations of falsifying business records, insurance fraud, and conspiracy.
During her four-hour testimony in New York Supreme Court, Ivanka Trump repeatedly stated that she could not recall specifics or was not aware of certain details. She distanced herself from her father's financial statements, which are central to the case.
