Trump civil fraud case: Judge fines Trump $354M, says frauds 'shock the conscience'

Ivanka Trump flashed a smile at Judge Engoron when he recommended to her that, when reviewing evidence, it would be easier for her to look at the big screen set up in the courtroom instead of the papers in her lap.

"Thank you," she said with a laugh.

Unlike her father, who roiled the judge and tangled with state attorneys during his testimony Monday, Ivanka Trump is reserved and soft spoken on the stand, at times speaking so quietly in answering questions that it's hard to hear her.

The entire courtroom appears to be following her tone, with Judge Engoron and attorneys from both side conducting themselves calmly even when objections are raised.

Asked about business negotiations from 2011, Ivanka Trump has been struggling to recall the details of her interactions from 12 years ago.

"I don't recall, sitting here today, seeing these terms from 2011," she responded after being shown a 2011 email to an Inbursa Bank representative. "I don't remember having these conversations other than on a very high level."

She has been punctuating her testimony with subtle indicators of how far removed she is from deals and documents discussed in court.

"I believe it was the ninth month of pregnancy of my oldest daughter," she remarked after she was shown another document from 2011.

When asked about other documents, she added it was hard to remember "after all these years removed" or that she can only "recall you reminding me of that discussion."

Poised and patient on the witness stand, Ivanka Trump described how her husband, Jared Kushner, introduced her to Deutsche Bank's private wealth management division, for which she later became the Trump Organization's liaison and worked to arrange financing for the firm's purchase of the Doral golf club in Miami.

She was shown an email in which she told a different potential lender that "my father will send you his most recent financial statement," a potential indication of the document's importance despite former President Trump's prior testimony that the banks didn't care about his financial statements when deciding whether to loan him money.

"They were just something that you would have," Trump said during his testimony Monday about the statements at the center of the case.

Unlike her father and brothers, who, when they testified, were photographed by news photographers at the defense counsel table alongside their lawyers before taking the stand, Ivanka Trump appears to have avoided her courtroom photo opportunity.

While her father and brothers are defendants in the case, Ivanka Trump is a third-party witness. No photographers were allowed in the courtroom this morning.
