AdvertisementAdvertisementIn afternoon testimony at her family's civil fraud trial in Manhattan, Ivanka Trump repeatedly said she could not remember key details about the single, costliest penalty threat her father faces in the case. Donald Trump, Jr. and Eric Trump – both executive vice presidents at Trump Org and defendants in the AG's case – made $4 million each. Ivanka Trump, too, made $4 million.

The back-to-back appearances Thursday from Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump – who both helped run the Trump Organization while their father was in the White House – comes ahead of the former president’s own testimony on Monday. Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump are co-defendants in the case, along with their father, the Trump Org., and several company executives. Eric Trump acknowledged he provided information to former Trump Org. But he tried to distinguish between specific statements of financial condition – his father’s personal financial statements at the heart of the civil case – and general financial records for the company. Some internal policies and methodologies “have been bolstered” since the investigation began, Trump Jr. said.

On Friday, Trump's NY fraud-trial judge ruled Ivanka Trump must testify next week. Lawyers for the New York attorney general's office, who plan to call Ivanka Trump to the witness stand on Friday at their ongoing, $250 million Trump fraud trial, agree it was quite the deal. Her testimony at the non-jury trial could prove highly damaging to her father and two eldest brothers, Donald Trump, Jr., and Eric Trump – Trump Organization vice presidents who, like their father, are defendants in James' lawsuit. "Ivanka Trump tried to negotiate the number down to 2 billion," Wallace said in openings, "before agreeing to 2.5 billion." But during the same period, Donald Trump's net worth statements valued the exact same unit at $20.8 million.
