Donald Trump talks to NEWSMAX after Michigan speech
Ivanka Trump will have to testify in her father's upcoming fraud case, according to a new report.
NBC is reporting that the former First Daughter — along with her two brothers, Eric and Donald Jr. — have been added to New York Attorney General Letitia James' witness list for Donald Trump's fraud trial, which is scheduled to begin next week.
The Trump children are amongst 28 witnesses who are due to be called to the witness stand by the persistent prosecutor.
Donald Trump's sons are both listed as defendants in the case, but Ivanka Trump is not.
For his part, Trump's attorneys have also submitted their witness list, which includes close to 130 witnesses.
The ex-president's two sons, who have been running the company since Trump was elected president in 2016, also appear on the list.
The civil trial, which still has to argue six points of fact, is a bench trial — meaning that it will be decided without a jury.
Just a few days ago, Trump and his sons — as part of the Trump Organization — were found guilty of fraud, their business licenses were stripped, and their attorneys were slapped with financial sanctions for frivolous claims.
While it's not clear what Ivanka Trump will be called to the stand for, what's clear is that the NY AG is going full steam ahead with her claims against the embattled ex-president.
Â
Additional rulings are scheduled to come later today, due to Trump's attorneys claiming that the statute of limitations about some of the claims have expired.
It's also not clear whether Ivanka Trump will plead the fifth — or, will invoke claims against self-incrimination — when she is called to the stand.
Trump's attorneys and spokespeople had no comment about the witness list as of press time.
