The New Yorker:

On the witness stand, Donald Trump’s daughter couldn’t remember many details from her time at the Trump Organization, but the prosecution’s document trail proved to be telling.

By John Cassidy

On Wednesday afternoon, Judge Arthur F. Engoron dismissed Ivanka Trump from the witness stand, and the New York attorney general’s office rested its civil fraud case against Donald Trump, his two eldest sons, and the Trump Organization. Ivanka, who was once a Trump Organization executive herself, as well as a White House official and the owner of an apparel business, strode out of the courtroom, and, soon after, cheers and jeers could be heard coming from outside the New York County Courthouse, where a small crowd of onlookers had gathered.

In September, 2022, when the state attorney general, Letitia James, first brought the civil charges against the Trumps, Ivanka was a co-defendant. In June of this year, however, an appeals court dismissed her from the case on the ground that the claims against her were barred by the state’s statute of limitations. (She left the Trump Organization in 2017 to serve as an aide in the White House, alongside her husband, Jared Kushner.) After making repeated efforts to avoid testifying, or to delay her appearance, she appeared at the trial as a reluctant witness for the government. In many ways, her nearly five hours of testimony encapsulated the entire trial so far, in substance if not in style.
