Overview

• Ivanka Trump, former President Donald Trump's eldest daughter, repeatedly testified that she could not recall documents and emails related to the Trump Organization's alleged fraud during her father's civil fraud trial in lower Manhattan.
• Despite not being a defendant in the case, her testimony was essential as she had a narrow role in managing two key redevelopment projects, the Doral resort in Miami and the Trump International Hotel in Washington, D.C., during her tenure as executive vice president at the Trump Organization.
• New York state lawyers argue that the Trump family and their business inflated Donald Trump’s net worth to secure better financing terms, seeking over $250 million in penalties and restrictions that could strip Trump of some of his prized properties.
• During cross-examination, Ivanka Trump denied being involved in calculating her father’s net worth for transactions such as buying the Florida golf course and redeveloping the Old Post Office property in Washington.
• If the Trump Organization is found guilty, not only may it face financial penalties, but the company could lose its certificate to do business in New York, which would result in a court-appointed receiver managing and potentially selling Trump properties to pay off legal bills and creditors.
