 Ivanka Trump must testify at her father’s New York civil fraud trial, the judge overseeing the case ruled on Friday.

负责此案的法官周五裁定,伊万卡·特朗普必须在她父亲的纽约民事诈骗案审判中作证。

New York Judge Arthur Engoron denied a motion from Ivanka Trump’s attorneys to quash a subpoena for her testimony, though he said her testimony should not be scheduled before Wednesday to give her time to appeal his ruling.

纽约法官亚瑟·恩格尔伦驳回了伊万卡·特朗普的律师提出的撤销传唤她作证的动议,不过他说,她的证词不应该安排在周三之前,以便她有时间对他的裁决提出上诉。

Ivanka Trump’s attorney had argued that she should not be forced to appear after an appellate court removed her as a defendant in the case.

伊万卡·特朗普的律师辩称,在上诉法院将她从此案的被告名单中除名后,她不应该被迫出庭。

“Ms. Trump has clearly availed herself of the privilege of doing business in New York,” Engoron said.

“特朗普女士显然利用了在纽约做生意的特权,”恩格尔伦说。

The judge also said Ivanka Trump should have submitted an affidavit asserting that she does not live or work in the state presently. “Only she can tell us that, and it’s too late to do that now,” Engoron said.

法官还表示,伊万卡·特朗普应该提交一份宣誓书,声称她目前不在该州生活或工作。“只有她能告诉我们,现在说已经太晚了,”恩格尔伦说。

Following his decision, Engoron quickly denied a follow-up request from Donald Trump’s attorney Chris Kise to entertain a deposition from Ivanka Trump taken in Florida. “We want her here in person,” Engoron said, noting that he prefers to hear testimony live in court.

在他做出决定后,恩格尔伦迅速拒绝了唐纳德·特朗普的律师克里斯·基斯的后续请求,后者要求接受伊万卡·特朗普在佛罗里达州拍摄的证词。“我们希望她能亲自到场,”Engoron说,并指出他更喜欢在法庭上听到现场证词。

Donald Trump’s children are expected to be called to testify next week, and the former president could be called in to testify the week after that, the attorney general’s office said in court Friday.

美国司法部长办公室周五在法庭上表示,预计唐纳德·特朗普的子女下周将被传唤作证,而这位前总统可能会在下周被传唤作证。

The attorney general’s team is nearing the end of the witness list for their case in the civil fraud trial of Trump and his co-defendants, including Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump.

在特朗普和他的共同被告小唐纳德·特朗普和埃里克·特朗普的民事欺诈审判中,司法部长团队的证人名单即将结束。

The attorney general’s team mapped out the remainder of their case in open court Friday. They’ll also have a chance to call additional witnesses in a rebuttal case after Trump’s defense case later in the trial.

司法部长的团队周五在公开法庭上制定了案件的剩余部分。在特朗普的辩护案之后,他们还有机会在审判的晚些时候传唤更多的证人。

The AG’s lawyers said they expect Donald Trump Jr., Eric Trump and Ivanka Trump to each testify for a day starting Wednesday, though Ivanka Trump’s testimony may depend on the status of her appeal.

总检察长的律师表示,他们预计小唐纳德·特朗普、埃里克·特朗普和伊万卡·特朗普将从周三开始分别作证一天,不过伊万卡·特朗普的证词可能取决于她的上诉情况。

After that, the attorney general’s office expects to call Trump as its final witness the week of November 6.

之后,司法部长办公室预计将在11月6日那一周传唤特朗普作为最后一名证人。

The witness schedule can always change or be shifted, so the dates are not set.

证人的时间表可以随时改变或转移,所以日期没有确定。

Trump attorneys say Ivanka testimony creating ‘another circus day’

 

Attorneys for Donald and Ivanka Trump argued that Ivanka Trump has not lived or worked in New York since 2017, so the court does not have jurisdiction over her, accusing New York Attorney General Letitia James of seeking her testimony to create a media spectacle.

唐纳德·特朗普和伊万卡·特朗普的律师辩称,伊万卡·特朗普自2017年以来就没有在纽约生活或工作过,因此法院对她没有管辖权,并指责纽约总检察长莱蒂夏·詹姆斯要求她作证,以制造媒体场面。

Kise called the subpoena “continued harassment of President Trump’s children.”

基斯称传票是“对特朗普总统的孩子们的持续骚扰”。

“They just want another free-for-all on one of President Trump’s children,” Kise said. “They want her in the courtroom so it can be filled with media and we can have another circus day.”

“他们只是想在特朗普总统的一个孩子身上再来一场混战,”基斯说。“他们希望她出现在法庭上,这样就能吸引媒体的注意力,让我们又过上一个马戏日。”

Ivanka Trump had initially been listed as a co-defendant – along with Donald Trump, Eric Trump, Donald Trump Jr., and several Trump Organization executives – in the $250 million lawsuit filed last September by James, alleging they were involved in an expansive fraud scheme lasting over a decade that the former president and his eldest children used to enrich themselves.

伊万卡·特朗普最初被列为共同被告,与唐纳德·特朗普、埃里克·特朗普、小唐纳德·特朗普和特朗普集团的几名高管一起,在去年9月由詹姆斯提起的索赔2.5亿美元的诉讼中,指控他们参与了一场持续了10多年的大规模欺诈计划,这位前总统和他的大孩子们利用该计划中财。

In June, however, a New York appeals court dismissed Ivanka Trump as a co-defendant, finding the claims against Ivanka Trump were too old, because she was not part of an August 2021 agreement between James’ office and the Trump Organization to toll the statute of limitations.

然而,今年6月,纽约一家上诉法院驳回了伊万卡·特朗普作为共同被告的指控,认为针对伊万卡·特朗普的指控太老了,因为她不属于2021年8月詹姆斯办公室与特朗普集团达成的超过诉讼时效协议的一部分。

Bennet Moskowitz, an attorney for Ivanka Trump, argued that she has not lived or worked regularly in New York since 2017, so the court does not have jurisdiction over her. He offered to file an affidavit signed by Ivanka saying as much.

伊万卡·特朗普的律师贝内特·莫斯科维茨辩称,自2017年以来,她就没有在纽约正常生活或工作,因此法院对她没有管辖权。他提出提交一份由伊万卡签名的宣誓书,说明了这一点。

She is no longer a party in this case and the business entities registered in New York where the AG’s office sent the subpoena are not parties in this case either, Moskowitz argued.

莫斯科维茨辩称,她不再是本案的当事人,在总检察长办公室发出传票的纽约注册的商业实体也不是本案的当事人。

Another Trump attorney, Cliff Robert, said Eric Trump is willing to be the corporate representative for the Trump Organization because he’s going to be testifying at trial anyway.

特朗普的另一位律师克里夫·罗伯特表示,埃里克·特朗普愿意担任特朗普集团的企业代表,因为他无论如何都会在审判中作证。

An attorney for the attorney general’s office, Kevin Wallace, argued that Ivanka Trump is still intertwined with Trump Organization, and that she has personal knowledge of a loan for the Old Post Office project in Washington, DC.

总检察长办公室的律师凯文·华莱士辩称,伊万卡·特朗普仍然与特朗普集团纠缠在一起,她对华盛顿特区旧邮局项目的贷款有个人了解。

The attorney general’s complaint alleged that Ivanka Trump was liable for the fraud committed on a Deutsche Bank loan issued to Trump and his company for the Old Post Office project.

司法部长的诉状称,伊万卡·特朗普应对德意志银行向特朗普及其公司发放的旧邮局项目贷款中的欺诈行为负责。

“She ran that project, not Eric Trump,” Wallace said.

“是她负责这个项目,而不是埃里克·特朗普,”华莱士说。

Because she personally profited from the Old Post Office deal, Wallace said, Ivanka Trump was acting for her own interest when she negotiated the loan with Deutsche Bank.

华莱士说,因为伊万卡·特朗普个人从老邮局的交易中获利,所以她在与德意志银行谈判贷款时是为了自己的利益。

Engoron asked the attorney general’s lawyer about the prospect of limiting the scope of her questioning to the Old Post Office loan with Deutsche Bank.

恩格尔伦向司法部长的律师询问了将她的质询范围限制在旧邮局与德意志银行贷款一事上的可能性。
