Ivanka Trump has arrived at court to testify in her father’s fraud trial.
Donald Trump, 77, praised his daughter ahead of her arrival at the court where the former president stands accused of having misled lenders and insurers, earning him $100million and exaggerating his wealth by $2billion.
State lawyers claim he inflated the valuation of his assets in order to win better financing terms.
Writing on social media ahead of her arrival, Trump blasted New York attorney general Letitia James as corrupt.

He said: “Tomorrow my wonderful and beautiful daughter, Ivanka, is going to the Lower Manhattan Courthouse, at the direction of Letitia Peekaboo James, the Corrupt and Racist New York State Attorney General, who has allowed Murder and Violent Crime in New York to flourish, and a Trump Hating, out of control Clubhouse appointed Judge, Arthur Engoron, who viciously ruled against me before the trial even started, wouldn't even consider a Jury, and said that Mar-a-Lago, in Palm Beach, Florida, is worth $18,000,000 when, in fact, it is worth 50 to 100 times that amount.
“Other properties likewise. Based on this information, which is so ridiculous, he said that I was a Fraud, when in fact it is Letitia James and the Judge who are Fraudulent for setting such LOW VALUATIONS in order to undermine and discredit my Financial Statements, thereby making me look bad - Election Interference!
“Now they are trying to bring Ivanka into the case, despite the Court of Appeals ruling that she cannot be charged. Sad!”
Donald Trump has previously called on the case to be “dismissed immediately” following a day of outbursts during the trial.
His outbursts were deemed so disruptive that Judge Arthur Engoron threatened to expel the former president from court should he continue to moan.
Engoron begged Trump’s legal team to “control their client” adding, “please, just answer the questions, no speeches” as Trump took to the stand to give testimony in his civil fraud trial on Monday.
