Ivanka Trump's Attorney Signals Plans to Appeal Order for Her to Testify in Civil Fraud Trial – The Messenger
Ivanka Trump's attorney notified a judge on Wednesday that she plans to appeal an order enforcing a subpoena compelling her testimony in her father's civil fraud case.
Former President Donald Trump and his sons Eric Trump and Donald Trump Jr. have been on trial for the better part of four weeks over claims that they fraudulently inflated assets on statements of financial condition submitted to banks and insurers.
Ivanka Trump was originally named as a defendant, until she succeeded in dismissing the claims against her on appeal under the statute of limitations.
She has argued that she should not be forced to testify because of her dismissal from the case and her move to Florida.
Manhattan Supreme Court Justice Arthur Engoron rejected those arguments on Friday, and Ivanka Trump is currently scheduled to begin testifying on Nov. 8.
