Ivanka is flailing. She can lie for her father and face jail; plead the Fifth and try to maintain her innocence independently: or tell the truth and send trump to jail.
The penalty for this trial is monetary/forfeiture of ownership. There's no jail possible here.
If the testimony reveals criminal actions, then criminal charges can be filed. That was the big 'whoooah' from the testimonies of the other trump children; their testimonies apparently contained elements of criminal offenses beyond the simple civil matters of this trial.
That's a bingo. Can't fix stupid.
Fancy not actually going through the testimony you were going to give, in advance, to check that it wasn't going to make the situation worse.
Peak naivety.
Telling the truth would also send her to jail unless she can reach a plea bargain, and I think that particular ship has sailed.
She's not party to this case, and it's a civil trial so there isn't jail time. Unless she's caught perjuring herself like her brothers. And even that won't likely affect any of them.
Lawyerly types of folks have been pointing out that the Trumpses have been making statements on the stand that open them up to criminal charges, so I’m not going to wager on her making a good case of it.
I think she is exactly as smart as the rest of her family, but manages to keep her mouth shut slightly more often.
Honestly, I would like the Saudi money and the West Bank money investigated for her and Jared.
absolutely. Also, because I'm kind of petty like that, I would like her to explain to the NY judge why her kids can't be left with the other presumably functioning adults at home.
