Donald Trump's daughter, Ivanka Trump, is set to appear at his New York fraud trial, and her evidence could be key

It's a long article but the headline on the news page list is: "Ivanka Trump tried and failed to avoid a court date. It could lead to big problems for her dad"


"Glenn Kirschner, a legal commentator who worked as a federal prosecutor for 30 years, says her efforts to avoid appearing could be a 'red flag' for the family.

"'I do think she represents the kind of danger to other Trump family members that perhaps the sons do not represent,' he told the ABC.

....

"Last year, she agreed to be interviewed by the congressional committee investigating the January 6 Capitol riots, giving testimony for eight hours.

“'She clearly, at least in the clips we saw, was unwilling to parrot or to mimic her father's lies,' Mr Kirschner says.

"In one of those clips, Ivanka said she accepted former attorney-general Bill Barr's conclusion that the 2020 election result wasn't affected by fraud.

"'What does that tell us? It tells us that she is not afraid to push back against her father,' Mr Kirschner says.

"'Might we see her sort of take a similar tack in this civil trial?'

"Another Donald Trump critic — his estranged and outspoken niece Mary Trump — is confident she will, saying: 'She's just going to tell the truth and throw him under the bus.'"
