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.”

    Oh girl please. You managed to travel around the world for 4 years as a “White House advisor” without any problems. You’ll deal with it.

      Working class people have to do this all the time and they can’t just pay someone to take care of their kids for a bit and need to work to pay rent. If she gets special treatment for this, I’m going to be pissed.
