The Trump kids have all been called on to testify at the civil fraud trial of Donald Trump and the Trump Org.
Ivanka Trump asked to be excused from testify because she has school age kids and therefore cannot be expected to testify.
The appeals court took about 3 minutes to call bull sh%$ on her effort to weasel out of testifying under oath:
Ivanka Trump’s argument that she should be spared giving midweek testimony in her father Donald Trump’s civil fraud trial in New York because she is a busy mother of school-aged children in Florida was given short shrift by an appeals court.
The former president’s daughter, a senior adviser during his single term of office, asked the panel to set aside a ruling by a district court judge compelling her to testify next Wednesday, 8 November.
“Ms Trump, who resides in Florida with her three minor children, will suffer undue hardship if a stay is denied and she is required to testify at trial in New York in the middle of a school week, in a case she has already been dismissed from, before her appeal is heard,” her lawyers said in a legal filing on Thursday.
They also argued that Trump had not lived or worked in New York since 2017, and was therefore beyond the jurisdiction of the Manhattan civil court.
But in an expedited ruling on Thursday night, the appeals court offered a curt, 11-word response.
“Application for interim stay pending decision on the motion is denied,” the judges wrote.
That is legalese for, "Stop smoking that sh%$, it makes you crazy."
