Former federal prosecutor Glenn Kirschner has raised concerns about Ivanka Trump’s impending testimony in the New York civil fraud trial involving her father, Donald Trump. The trial, initiated by New York Attorney General Letitia James, targets Trump and his family, alleging a $250 million fraud involving inflated net worth and asset values from 2011 to 2021. Despite vehement denials from the Trump family, Judge Arthur Engoron recently ruled that Trump, his adult sons, their businesses, and executives committed fraud, leading to potential repercussions such as property loss and business restrictions.
Ivanka Trump, initially a co-defendant in the case, was later dismissed from the lawsuit due to her limited involvement with The Trump Organization. However, she is now compelled to testify following an order issued by Judge Engoron on October 27. Kirschner, known for his critical views of Trump, emphasized the gravity of Ivanka’s testimony during a recent appearance on MSNBC’s The ReidOut. He described her as a “real potential danger” to her father, highlighting her reluctance to testify and her previous distancing from Trump’s claims of election fraud.
During closed-door testimony, Ivanka expressed her lack of belief in her father’s election fraud claims, instead putting her trust in former Attorney General Bill Barr. Kirschner emphasized that her truthful testimony could severely damage her father’s defense, potentially explaining her reluctance to appear in court.
Ivanka Trump’s testimony is viewed as a pivotal moment in this high-stakes legal battle. Legal experts and the public alike are closely monitoring her statements on the witness stand, recognizing the far-reaching implications they could have on her family’s legal defense and their future business interests in New York. The trial’s outcome remains uncertain, but Ivanka’s testimony holds the key to unraveling the truth behind the allegations against the Trump family.
