Ivanka recently testified in her father’s New York civil fraud trial.
New York Attorney General Letitia James alleges that Donald Trump lied about the value of company assets to obtain favorable loans, claims the former president denies.
At the time, Ivanka was an executive at the firm, but told the court she had a hands-off relationship.
Her involvement in the trial is another example of the difficulty Ivanka has faced trying to extricate herself from her father’s controversial business and political careers.
“There’s no way that she walks out of this trial further distanced from the controversies surrounding her father,” Dan Alexander, author of ‘White House, Inc: How Donald Trump Turned the Presidency Into a Business’, told BBC News.
“It’s going to be an uncomfortable place for her, and I don’t think that reputationally, it’s the direction that she wants to go.”
