Ivanka scurries away from paparazzi when asked if she’s “afraid” to testify against her father
Kushner Trump had little to say to paparazzi gathered outside Funke’s in Beverly Hills over the weekend as they shouted questions about her father’s current $250 million civil fraud trial happening in New York.The ex-president and his two adult sons, Don Jr.
and Eric, are on trial after being accused of inflating the value of the Trump Organization’s real estate portfolio by billions of dollars a year to secure cheaper rates from banks and insurers.Justice Arthur Engoron, who has been overseeing the trial, has already found them liable for fraud.
Now, he’s reviewing evidence and hearing testimony from witnesses to determine the exact scope of the crimes committed and what the appropriate punishment should be.Documents show Ivanka was given the opportunity to purchase two Trump penthouses at much lower values than they were listed.
Ivanka, who worked as an executive vice president for the family business before quitting to become a senior advisor in the Trump White House in 2017, was initially listed as a defendant alongside her dad and brother, but was able to convince an appeals court last summer to let her off the hook.That when New York Attorney General Letitia James, who brought on the case, added her name to the witness list instead.The Daily Mail published video of Ivanka leaving Kim Kardashian’s 43rd birthday party at the swanky establishment on Friday night.
