Ivanka Trump’s appearance Wednesday was the highly anticipated conclusion to an unprecedented eight days of witness testimony that included Donald Trump and three of his adult children in the civil fraud trial brought by the New York attorney general’s office.
The AG’s office rested its case after hearing from the eldest Trump daughter, who was pressed about her role securing loans for the Trump Organization and a penthouse apartment she leased from her father.
Her appearance was not anywhere near as contentious as her father’s on Monday – there were no fireworks or angry outbursts.
The top lines:
- NY attorney general focused on Deutsche Bank loan negotiations
- Ivanka Trump distanced herself from her apartment’s valuation on Donald Trump’s financial statement
- Ivanka Trump acknowledged discussing Trump Org. business with husband Jared Kushner
- The attorney general’s office rested its case after calling 25 witnesses.
- Donald Trump's team will begin its defense on Monday. They previewed a key aspect on Wednesday as they focused on emails where Deutsche Bank was happy to have the Trump Org. as a client.
