Ivanka Trump Requests Trial Pause, Citing 'Undue Hardship'

Ivanka Trump has requested a pause in the $250 million fraud trial involving her family's business empire, citing "undue hardship" due to having to testify during the school week. The New York Attorney General, Letitia James, has urged the appeals court to reject the request, calling it baseless and drastic. Ivanka's attorney argued that she is beyond the jurisdiction of the court and that the subpoenas for her testimony were improperly served. James countered by stating that Ivanka still transacts business in New York and has firsthand knowledge relevant to the ongoing trial. The trial is nearing completion, and James argued that delaying Ivanka's testimony would disrupt the fair and orderly resolution of the case.
