Janice Yu reports from Lower Manhattan where Ivanka Trump is set to testify in the former president's civil fraud trial.Her father gave caustic testimony. Her brothers each spent more than a day on the witness stand.
The non-jury trial will decide allegations of conspiracy, insurance fraud and falsifying business records - but Judge Arthur Engoron already has resolved the lawsuit's top claim by ruling that Trump engaged in fraud. That decision came with provisions that could strip the ex-president of oversight of such marquee properties as Trump Tower, though an appeals court is allowing him continued control of his holdings, at least for now.
Ivanka Trump was an executive vice president at the family's Trump Organization before becoming an unpaid senior adviser in her father's White House. Like her brothers, who are still Trump Organization EVPs, she has professed minimal knowledge of their father's annual financial statements. As her father's inauguration neared, she announced in January 2017 that she was stepping away from her Trump Organization job. After her time in the administration, she moved to Florida.
