A higher court on Thursday denied Ivanka Trump ’s request to postpone her upcoming testimony in her father’s civil fraud trial, shortly after she claimed she’d suffer “undue hardship” if forced to appear during a school week. With the appeal, Trump sought to block New York Judge Arthur Engoron’s previous order for her to testify until an appeal could be heard by the New York appellate court. The appeal also asked the court to pause the entire fraud trial against former President Donald Trump, two of his adult sons and his company until her appeal could be heard. Ivanka Trump’s two adult brothers – Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump , who both helped run the Trump Organization while their father was in the White House – made back-to-back appearances in court earlier Thursday. Engoron last week ordered Ivanka Trump to testify Wednesday in the trial, denying a motion from her attorney to quash a subpoena.
