Ivanka Trump Fights Subpoena, Seeks to Avoid Testifying in Father's NY Civil Fraud Trial

Ivanka Trump, previously dismissed from the lawsuit, now faces subpoenas due to alleged involvement in fraudulently inflating asset values while with Trump Organization; lawyers argue her non-resident status and prior dismissal justify not testifying.

  • Ivanka Trump, who was previously dismissed from the civil fraud trial against her father Donald Trump and the Trump Organization, is now fighting the New York Attorney General's subpoena to testify in court.
  • Despite her dismissal from the case earlier, due to the statute of limitations, the lawsuit argues that Ivanka Trump and others fraudulently inflated the value of their assets on financial documents to obtain better business deals and increase Donald Trump’s net worth.
  • Ivanka Trump's lawyers have asked the court to reject the subpoena due to improper service, her non-residence in New York and her irrelevance to the case, following a judgment that found her father and other business associates guilty of fraud.
  • The New York Attorney General's office aims to have her testify at the trial and has issued subpoenas to various businesses linked to Ivanka Trump.
  • Among the allegations against Ivanka Trump are that she played a key role in certain business deals that are suspected to have involved inflated valuations, including overseeing loans that necessitated the provision of financial statements.
