Ivanka’s court loss means the latest phase of the Trump Hunger Games will convene next week
Trump Kushner has officially reached the end of the road in her futile attempts to avoid testifying in her dad’s $250 civil fraud trial in New York.
Whomp, whomp.Last week, she asked Judge Arthur Engoron, who has been overseeing the trail, to dismiss the subpoena she received from New York Attorney General Letitia James compelling her testimony.
When Engoron declined, she took the request to an appeals court.The former first daughter tried to argue that she shouldn’t have to testify because she’s a very busy mother of three school-aged children living in Florida and traveling to New York for a court appearance would be hugely inconvenient.“Ms Trump, who resides in Florida with her three minor children, will suffer undue hardship if a stay is denied and she is required to testify at trial in New York in the middle of a school week, in a case she has already been dismissed from, before her appeal is heard,” her lawyers said in a legal filing on Thursday.Unfortunately, the appeals court was unmoved by her excuse and issued a short 11-word response to her request late last night: “Application for interim stay pending decision on the motion is denied.”And with that, the 42-year-old, who served as the executive vice president for development and acquisition at the Trump Organization from 2005 until leaving in 2017 to work in the Trump White House, will now have to take the witness stand next week.UPDATE:Ivanka has to find a babysitter.
