NEW YORK (AP) — Days after former President Donald Trump got a taste of the witness stand, his New York civil business fraud trial is turning to the question of whether his daughter Ivanka will have to testify, too.
Ivanka Trump has been dismissed from the case, and lawyers for her family and its business contend that she shouldn't have to take the stand.
It's unclear how soon Judge Arthur Engoron will decide, or when Ivanka Trump would testify if ordered to do so.
Ivanka Trump's lawyer argued in court papers that it's unreasonable to make her take the stand.
Ivanka Trump announced in January 2017, ahead of her father's inauguration, that she was stepping away from her Trump Organization job.
