Ivanka Trump has taken the witness stand to testify in the non-jury civil trial stemming from New York Attorney General Letitia James’ lawsuit against her family and the Trump Organization.
The former president’s daughter was originally listed as a defendant in James’ lawsuit, in which she alleged Trump defrauded banks and inflated the value of his assets with the help of his children.
A New York Appeals Court, over the summer, dismissed Ivanka Trump as a defendant. That ruling also limited the statute of limitations.
Her court appearance comes after her attorneys filed a notice of appeal last week to reverse to the decision to require her to testify. Their request was denied.
Former President Trump has denied any wrongdoing and has repeatedly said his assets were actually undervalued. Trump has repeatedly said his financial statements had disclaimers, requesting that the numbers be evaluated by the banks.
And both Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump testified during the trial that they had no involvement in the creation of financial statements, and said the Trump family did nothing wrong.
