    What to know about Ivanka Trump’s testimony

    • Ivanka Trump, former President Donald Trump’s elder daughter, is testifying today in the $250 million civil fraud trial.
    • She left the Trump Organization in 2017 to become a top White House aide for her father. Though she had been a co-defendant alongside her brothers Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump, an appeals court removed her from the case in June.
    • Judge Arthur Engoron shot down an effort from her lawyers to block her testimony. The defense team had asked for a deposition instead so she wouldn’t have to leave her children.
    • She is the fourth and final member of the Trump family to testify in the trial. The former president testified Monday and his two adult sons took the stand last week.
    • New York Attorney General Letitia James, whose office is prosecuting the case, told reporters this morning that Ivanka Trump is “inextricably tied to the Trump Organization.”
