“CNN political analyst Maggie Haberman joins “CNN This Morning” to discuss Ivanka Trump’s upcoming testimony in her father’s New York civil fraud trial.”

From CNN

I think if Ivanka has her way, she won’t say much if anything tomorrow that could possibly hurt her brand (as they say in reality TV/celebrity TV world) or her father Donald. But she’s not going to be in control of the hearing tomorrow. Judge Arthur Engeron and NYAG prosector Kevin Wallace will be in charge here. And prosecutor Wallace will decide what questions are asked of Ivanka and like with her brothers, she’ll have a choice here: answer all the questions as truthfully and honestly as she can, or plead the 5th.

Ivanka was involved in the financing of a major Washington hotel project that the Trump Organization was putting together in in 2015/16. She knows about Trump Org’s finances, at least during that period before her father was elected President and she moved to Washington to work in his White House.

So Ivanka could act like a comatose patient whose just waking up, or someone whose suffering from a concussion. But unless she has a doctor’s note that says she’s too sick to speak truthfully about what she knows, she’s going to have to answer questions about her involvement in the Trump Organization, or plead the 5th.

I guess Ivanka could refuse to answer NYAG’s questions truthfully, or plead the 5th, and be held in contempt. But can you really see Ivanka Trump in an orange, jail suit? I doubt that would be good for her brand either. Again, as they say in reality TV/celebrity TV world. Not my words, necessarily.
