On Thursday, November 3, 2023, an appeals court in New York denied Ivanka Trump’s request to postpone her upcoming testimony in her father’s civil fraud trial. Trump had argued that she would suffer undue hardship if she was forced to testify during a school week, as she lives in Florida with her three minor children. However, the appeals court ruled that Trump’s hardship did not outweigh the public’s interest in having her testify. Trump is scheduled to testify on November 8, 2023.
