A New York judge has rejected Ivanka Trump’s argument that she should not have to testify at her father Donald Trump’s fraud trial.
Ivanka Trump’s lawyers – she has hired a separate legal team from her father – showed up to court on Friday to argue against a subpoena to testify from the New York attorney general Letitia James’s office, which brought the $250m fraud case against the former president, his eldest sons and other Trump executives.
“At the end of the day, your honor, they just don’t have jurisdiction over her,” Ivanka Trump’s attorney, Bennet Moskowitz, told the judge. Her lawyers argued that Trump no longer lives in New York and stepped down from her role at the Trump Organization in 2017.

The judge, Arthur Engoron, told the court that he rejected her arguments, saying that she “clearly availed herself of the privilege of doing business in New York”, he said, citing documents that show Trump still has property and business ties in New York.
They just don’t have jurisdiction? Did you do things in NY?. Then they do. Watch her plead the 5th all day long or “I don’t recall.”
Fifth only protects from self incrimination. She’ll have to talk or be held in contempt.
I heard only guilty people do that…
One… Two… Three…Four…FIF
“I invoke my fifth amendment right against incriminating my father.”
“That’s not how that works.”
“… Oh.”
Um I invoke my fifth amendment right against losing my inheritance?
Like a spoiled child trying to evade consequences.
Not like a spoiled child, she is a spoiled child. Just like her father.
By next week he won’t even remember her, except maybe as someone who may have brought him covfefe that one time…
Show him a picture of her next week and he’ll assume she’s someone he’s raped
“Is this about that hush money thing again?”
Wait, am I understanding this correctly?
On Dec 22nd, just 3 days shy of Christmas, we may hear the delightful news that Trump is actually facing some consequences?
Wake me up when it actually happens.
