Ivanka is asking the judge to separate her from her brothers and father in the New York fraud case, but doing so could help the attorney general make her case.
In a letter filed Monday, Reid Figel, the attorney representing Ivanka in the lawsuit filed by New York Attorney General Letitia James, asked Judge Arthur Engoron to recognize that Donald Trump's eldest daughter left the family company in 2017 and that the allegations made against her are different from the ones made against her brothers, father and their real estate empire.
The civil fraud suit, which James filed last September and names the former president and his three adult children, accuses the Trump Organization of falsely inflating property assets to induce banks into lending the company money. James is seeking $250 million in financial penalties and to permanently bar any of the four Trumps from serving as an officer or director of any New York corporation again.
