Ivanka Trump is having the most Monday of Mondays.
Hours ago, New York Attorney General Letitia James slapped both she and her older brother, Don Jr., with subpoenas demanding their testimony in connection to a civil investigation into the Trump Organization.
According to court records, the subpoenas stem from an ongoing probe “into the valuation of properties owned or controlled” by the Trump klan.

How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
ABC News reports that the toxic brother-sister duo have already indicated that they won’t comply and plan to “file motions to quash the subpoenas as soon as Monday.” But the odds don’t appear to be in their favor.
Last year, James’ office issued a subpoena to their younger brother, Eric. He tried fighting it, but a judge eventually forced him to testify.
Neither the Trumps nor James’ office have issued any comment on the matter, but Twitter sure has a lot to say about it…

Donald Trump Jr. and Ivanka said they won't comply with subpoenas issued by NY AG. Sounds like time to issue some arrest warrants.

Trump said it’s like a miracle, it will disappear. Apparently that doesn’t apply to the subpoenas for him, Ivanka and Don Jr.!

This NY AG subpoena for Ivanka Trump is so unfair.

I thought it was a criminal offense to ignore a subpoena, with immediate arrest and imprisonment. That’s what I was told when I was subpoena’d, and that was just for an inquest into a possible murder I might have been a quasi-witness to.

It would be a crime to ignore it, but that’s not what they’re doing. There’s a window of time in which they can file motions to explain why they shouldn’t have to testify. These kinds of motions are very common. It’s a little bit like when accused criminals file a motion to dismiss the case — delay, delay, delay, hope that the other party gets exhausted, grasp at straws, etc.

Ivanka ran the Trump organization, including the time when they apparently violated multiple tax laws. She used her position in the government to violate the law and gain financial advantage by getting Chinese licenses as well as her husband getting massive bailouts from Quatar, she called the domestic terrorists attacking the U.S. Capitol “Patriots”, and she was going to be tried for massive fraud previously until she “Donated” a bunch of money to the DA investigating.
Ivanka is at LEAST as bad as the rest of the family, yet media keeps trying to paint her as if she is some innocent moderating influence on Donald. She is a mirror of all her father’s worst qualities.

Funny how the right always says if you have done nothing wrong you have nothing to hide. Funny how they think that does not apply to them.
It will be really funny to see how she behaves if held in contempt.

Oh, geez! there’s a wonderful phrase “spoken” with regards to someone…a Trump associate/minion/collaborator, I believe…Oh, who was it? The phrase is so beautiful in french….hmmmm; oh right! “Happy New Years, A**hole!” I love the French language.

She was recently seen tossing the football at the beach with her son. Very original, a little football like the Kennedys.

I’m glad Eric wasn’t left out – he got his awhile back.
rangerwilcox
would be very elated to learn she had a blowout in her expensive undies upon getting her subpoena.

Her first call was to her Botox technician because she suddenly developed a whole slew of ‘worry lines in her forehead.

The Kushners are horrible people.
cuteguy
These cherry picking hypocritical right wing nut jobs deserve everything bad coming to them. Especially that insufferable Don Jr who would always complain that if you have nothing to hide, you shouldn’t be afraid of being called to testify. Only of course when it doesn’t apply to him or his kind
