Ivanka Trump's attorneys have argued that she shouldn't have to testify. They claimed prosecutors were just trying to harass the family by dragging her into court. But prosecutors said she was personally involved in some of the events in the case, and remains a key player in the Trump Organization. While on the stand, the former president described the trial as"crazy.
