Ivanka Trump asks to pause NY fraud trial, says testimony during ‘school week’ creates ‘undue hardship’
cnbc.com
Ivanka Trump asked a New York appeals court to pause the $250 million fraud trial of her family and its business empire as she appeals a judge’s order requiring her to testify in the case next week.
The request to stay the entire trial came at the tail end of a Thursday court filing arguing that Ivanka Trump will face “undue hardship” if forced to testify — in part because she is scheduled to appear “in the middle of a school week.”
New York Attorney General Letitia James urged the appeals court to reject that request, calling it a “drastic” and baseless move that “would upend an ongoing trial.”

If the testimony reveals criminal actions, then criminal charges can be filed. That was the big 'whoooah' from the testimonies of the other trump children; their testimonies apparently contained elements of criminal offenses beyond the simple civil matters of this trial.
That's a bingo. Can't fix stupid.
Fancy not actually going through the testimony you were going to give, in advance, to check that it wasn't going to make the situation worse.
Peak naivety.
