The New York judge overseeing the civil trial against former President Donald Trump and his business has ordered the ex-president’s daughter, Ivanka Trump, to take the stand and testify in the case against her family.
Judge Arthur Engeron made the ruling Friday after a lengthy back-and-forth with defense attorneys who said Mr. Trump’s daughter left the Trump Organization in 2017 and had been dismissed from the civil case, so forcing her to testify amounted to harassment of the Trumps.
The judge said Ivanka Trump conducted business in New York and owns property there, so her testimony is relevant. He said Ms. Trump could appeal the decision and would not have to testify before Wednesday.
New York Attorney General Letitia James is pushing a lawsuit claiming Mr. Trump and his business manipulated financial statements to gain favorable terms on insurance and loans.
Her office said Ivanka Trump has relevant information despite not being a party to the case.
“She indisputably has personal knowledge of facts relevant to the claims against the remaining individual and entity defendants. But even beyond that, Ms. Trump remains financially and professionally intertwined with the Trump Organization and other defendants and can be called as a person still under their control,” the attorney general’s office said in a court filing.
The trial, which is wrapping up its fourth week, has featured testimony from former accountants and Trump lawyer-turned-fixer Michael Cohen, who piqued Ms. James’ interest by telling Congress years ago that Mr. Trump had a penchant for manipulating statements about his assets.
Mr. Trump and his sons, Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump, are parties to the case and are expected to testify.

That hasn’t changed
It's the eyes, of course. Calculating, predatory...
Just what you want a hostile witness. 😏
Easy—”I don’t recall.”
Pervy pedo eyes
There is nothing in the Constitution about spousal testimony. It’s old common law.
The sons are co defendants. They cannot be forced to testify.
The ugly old letch probably just wants to ogle her.
This is one of those judges that needs to be beaten on the court house steps until he can't talk anymore.
Stories last year included the dirty Southern District of NY and other prosecutors wanted to break Trump as his loving protection instinct for his children would cause him to sacrifice himself for them.
The Leftists have no human qualities.
In 1967, Polish mercenary Rafal Ganowicz was asked what it felt like to take human life, “I wouldn’t know, I’ve only ever killed Communists”.
Great line.
Given the far flung nature of this show trial she should just plead the 5th since hurting her would hurt PDJT.
Or Hillary Clinton
