Ivanka Trump may soon have a difficult decision to make that could have dire consequences for her father, Donald Trump, former U.S. Attorney Joyce Vance wrote in her latest “Civil Discourse” newsletter.
The former president’s eldest daughter “may well have to choose between Daddy and perjury,” suggested Vance.
Vance explained how Ivanka Trump, who served as a White House advisor during her father’s presidency, is contesting New York Attorney General Letitia James’ call for her to testify in her father’s ongoing civil fraud trial in New York.
Ivanka Trump has argued she shouldn’t have to appear before the court because she wasn’t deposed before the trial. Vance, however, said it likely won’t wash because Ivanka Trump is a “fact witness” in courtroom testimony about the alleged price manipulation of a penthouse. James should, therefore, “be permitted” to call on her to take the stand, Vance added.
Vance said testifying “shouldn’t be a tough call” for Ivanka Trump, who was last week pictured at reality personality Kim Kardashian’s birthday party, given her father’s reputation for throwing even his closest allies under the bus to save himself.
“If their positions were reversed, it’s hard to imagine Trump sacrificing himself for her,” said Vance. “As the wheels come off the Trump’s legal wagon, it’s going to be everyone for themselves.”
