The former first daughter distances herself from her father’s legal and business troubles as the 2024 election nears.
On 20 October 2023, Ivanka Trump, the eldest daughter of former President Donald Trump, filed a motion to avoid testifying in her father’s fraud trial currently taking place in New York. The case centres on allegations that the Trump Organisation misrepresented the value of its properties to obtain favourable loans and tax benefits. Ivanka, who held a key executive role in the business in the past, has sought to distance herself from the controversy surrounding the company’s financial dealings. Her legal team argues that she should not be required to testify, highlighting her limited involvement in the business in recent years. This legal manoeuvre comes amid growing scrutiny of the Trump family’s business practices and the increasing intensity of the 2024 presidential campaign.
