Melania Trump spent her four years in the White House in an epic internal battle with her step-daughter Ivanka, met repeatedly with her lawyers about her pre and post-nups, and used her clothing - including that jacket - to speak for her. The Slovenian-born first lady spent her time in the role 'bucking expectations,' notes Katie Rogers in her forthcoming book 'American Woman: The Transformation of the Modern First Lady, from Hillary Clinton to Jill Biden.' She was rarely seen in public, gave few interviews and even her signature initiative 'Be Best' left people wondering exactly what it meant (and...

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...

Trump, 77, is listed as “witness No. 27” in Attorney General Letitia James’ list of people her office anticipates possibly calling to the stand during the Manhattan Supreme Court trial, which could start as soon as Monday and last up to three months. James’ office, which is seeking at least $250 million and an order barring the ex-commander-in-chief from doing business in New York,...

So I'm seeing that if DJT goes to court, he can subpoena whoever he wishes. This could put eyes on The election theft more than ever. So who would you like to seen called to the stand? I think would love to see Hunter and Joe Biden, Joe Epps, Ruby Freeman.

Former US President Donald Trump’s daughter, Ivanka, and his son-in-law, Jared Kushner, broke their silence on Friday following Trump’s indictment in relation to hush money he allegedly paid to adult film actress Stormy Daniels. In a statement posted to social media, Ivanka Trump said, “I love my father, and I love my country.” “Today, I am pained for both. I appreciate the voices across the political spectrum expressing support and concern,” she added. Kushner, who served as a senior advisor to Trump during his time in President, commented on the indictment at an investment summit in Miami. “As an American,...

I regard POTUS 45, Donald Trump, as easily one of the best American presidents in my lifetime. ...... the fact that he is a family man has given him some really good and truly beautiful people working at his side. Here is a selection of key ideas from his Inaugural Address: "....... we are transferring power from Washington, D.C., and giving it back to you, the people ......." "We do not seek to impose our way of life on anyone, but rather to let it shine as an example ......." "There should be no fear ....... we will be protected...

I rate Donald Trump along with Ike, Kennedy, Nixon and The Gipper as one of the best five American presidents of my lifetime. (I was born in 1957 on a day when Andy Williams "Butterfly" was on top of the charts.) I believe that what the Trump Presidency did for America and for the Western World would never have happened if he had not had smart beautiful women who loved him in his family and at his side. Words and images which I believe prove this can be seen by clicking the link in red type below the title of...

The January 6 committee on Monday slammed Ivanka Trump for a 'lack of full recollection of certain issues' and not being 'forthcoming' in her testimony to the panel about her father's actions on the day of the insurrection. Ivanka Trump, the eldest daughter of Donald Trump and an adviser in his White House, testified behind closed doors to the panel for at least eight hours. Portions of her video testimony were shown throughout the official hearings as the committee sought to show how the former president tried to illegally overturn the results of the 2020 election. But, despite using Ivanka's...

Former Sen. Heidi Heitkamp (D-ND) said Sunday on ABC’s “This Week” that if the House Republicans subpoena President Joe Biden’s son Hunter the Senate Democrats should investigate former President Donald Trump’s daughter Ivanka and son-in-law Jared Kushner. Discussing Senator Joe Manchin (D-WV), Heitkamp said, “I think – Joe’s got to decide whether he’s going to run again, right? So that’s the interesting thing there. He’s not going to become a Republican. He’s going to continue to do what he’s always done, which is speak his mind and, you know, drive deals, like the Inflation Reduction Act, which was really what...

Ivanka Trump is really soaking up her new-found free time. A relaxed and carefree former first-daughter hit the water in Miami for a wakeboarding outing Thursday — just days after revealing she was done with politics and will play no part in her dad’s 2024 presidential campaign. Ivanka, 41, was all smiles as she lapped up the waves in her matching black swimsuit, lifejacket and hat, exclusive photos show.

This time around, I am choosing to prioritize my young children and the private life we are creating as a family. I do not plan to be involved in politics,” Ivanka, 41, said in a statement. “While I will always love and support my father, going forward I will do...

Chelsea Clinton said during a recent interview that she hasn’t spoken to Ivanka Trump in about six years which is when she says her former friend switched over to the "dark side." "I would say we were friends," Chelsea Clinton said during an interview on "Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen" on Thursday, New York Post reported.

Clinton confirmed that the last conversation...

Former President Donald Trump's niece, Mary Trump, has suggested his son-in-law Jared Kushner could be the mole in the Trump camp who tipped off the FBI about confidential documents that were being held at Mar-a-Lago... Speaking with SiriusXM host Dean Obeidallah, Mary Trump was asked if she had any idea who the suspect might be... 'It's so tough to choose. I want it to be all of them. You know, I think we need to start with who would have access to this stuff. I don't think Mark Meadows [former White House Chief of Staff] would have access to it,'...

In recent days, new details have emerged about the unprecedented raid on the former president’s Florida home. Mar-A-Lago, Trump’s Florida mansion, was raided by the FBI on Monday.

Jared Kushner alleges in his new memoir former Trump White House chief of staff John Kelly “shoved” his wife and the former president’s daughter Ivanka Trump following a contentious meeting. “One day he had just marched out of a contentious meeting in the Oval Office,” Kushner claims in the book. “Ivanka was walking down the main hallway in the West Wing when she passed him. Unaware of his heated state of mind, she said, ‘Hello, chief.’ Kelly shoved her out of the way and stormed by. She wasn’t hurt, and didn’t make a big deal about the altercation, but in...

There was just one thing that would have made the brash and chaotic circus of the Trump presidency complete — his irrepressible first wife, Ivana. Unlike shy and glacial Melania, whose heart never seemed to be in it, the Czech-born former skiing instructor and fur coat model would have been the perfect, larger-than-life First Lady for the bombastic president. Her outrageous hairdos were as bouffant as his, her wit as caustic and her personality just as egocentric and competitive. The formidable Ivana was also a detail-obsessed workaholic who played a key role in the Trump business empire. She became an...

The House select committee investigating the January 6 Capitol riot presents a pre-produced compilation of key Trump allies recounting a "heated" phone call between former President Trump and former Vice President Pence.

The former president said on Friday that Ivanka was 'not involved in looking' at the results of the 2020 election. 'Ivanka Trump was not involved in looking at, or studying, Election results. She had long since checked...
