Ivanka Trump’s testimony in her father, Donald Trump’s, NYC fraud trial has raised some eyebrows. Many observers noticed that she spoke quite timidly and claimed to have a poor memory, leading some to question the authenticity of her testimony. Stephanie Grisham, author of “I’ll Take Your Questions Now: What I Saw at the Trump White House,” spoke to MSNBC about Ivanka’s behavior on the stand. Grisham expressed skepticism about Ivanka’s claim of not recalling certain events, stating that she knew Ivanka to be a very smart woman with an amazing memory. However, Grisham did note that Ivanka’s behavior was in contrast to her father’s.
Ivanka had to take the stand as a witness for the prosecution in the trial, which involves allegations of fraudulently inflating Donald Trump’s fortune. Ivanka repeatedly stated that she did not recall many incidents related to the alleged fraud, claiming that she was not privy to those matters.
The trial has attracted significant attention, with Donald Trump and his two sons, Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump, facing accusations of inflating the former president’s net worth by as much as $2.2 billion since 2011.
Overall, Ivanka’s testimony and her behavior on the stand have sparked speculation and debate about her involvement and knowledge of the alleged fraud.
