Ivanka, Don Jr, and Eric All Set to Testify at Dad’s Civil Fraud Trial.
New York's $250 million fraud trial against Donald Trump and his real-estate empire will force four Trumps to the witness stand in the coming weeks, starting with Ivanka Trump and followed, toward its end, by the former president and his two eldest sons, a new witness list reveals.
State Attorney General Letitia James' final list of "Witnesses to be Called" in her case against the Trump Organization was filed late Thursday morning.
Here's the whole list of who she's subpoenaed to take the stand, in their order of testifying.
The non-jury trial is scheduled to begin in Manhattan on Monday, a date that had remained up in the air pending an appellate panel's ruling on Trump's request that the case be shrunk, pre-trial, on statute-of-limitation grounds.
In a terse decision Thursday afternoon, the panel rejected Trump's latest attempt to delay the trial, clearing the way for Monday, barring any further appeals. The decision left the statute-of-limitations question unresolved, though Trump's lawyers are expected to raise it again at trial and in future appeals.
Ivanka Trump, a former executive vice president at the Trump Organization through 2016, is in the attorney general's number 14 witness slot and will testify first out of all the Trumps.
The former president's eldest daughter, an original plaintiff of the lawsuit, was released from the case after an appeals court found the claims against her were too old.
Now, she must testify against her father and brothers Donald Trump, Jr., and Eric Trump, who remain as plaintiffs.
Ivanka Trump, a former executive vice president of the family business, negotiated financing for the company before leaving for Washington, DC, with her father in 2017.
The AG had accused her of causing misleading financial statements to be submitted to Deutsche Bank, Trump Org's biggest lender, and to the federal government in connection with Trump's development of the Old Post Office building in Washington.
The list shows that the state's first scheduled witness will be Donald Bender, Trump's former top accountant. Bender is a partner at Mazars USA, the firm that, in the wake of James' fraud allegations, announced in February that it could no longer stand by the accuracy of a decade of financial statements prepared for Trump.
Mazars unceremoniously dumped the Trumps in the midst of preparing the family taxes last year.
Also testifying are the Trump Organization's top payroll man, or "controller," Jeffrey McConney, implicated in the company's Manhattan payroll fraud conviction last year, and former CFO Allen Weisselberg, who served a five-month sentence in the payroll case.
Also among the earliest planned witnesses is Trump's fixer-turned-foe, Michael
