On Tuesday, Ivanka Trump was dismissed by a New York state appeals court from a fraud case against her family business.
The New York state attorney general began an investigation of fraud in the Trump family, including Donald Trump, Donald Trump Jr., Eric Trump, Ivanka and the Trump Organization.
The court decided that these claims made against Ivanka are too old since she left her family’s business back in 2017, so she could assist her father in the White House. The lawsuit was filed in September 2022 by Attorney General Tish James.
A five-judge panel from the appeals court found that the filing came too late to include any charges of misconduct when Ivanka worked for her family.
The ruling specifically states that, “The allegations against defendant Ivanka Trump do not support any claims that accrued after February 6, 2016. Thus, all claims against her should have been dismissed as untimely.”
This ruling could also potentially limit the case that is being made against Donald Trump and the Trump business, specifically the claims regarding the biggest transactions in the complaint, which is a purchase in Florida of a golf resort and a hotel deal in Chicago.
The lawsuit accuses the family of yearslong fraud specifically through misleading valuations on their financial statements, which was done to reduce their tax bills. This fraud allowed them to receive favorable terms from insurance companies and banks.
Additionally, the family is accused of committing fraud throughout other aspects of their business, which included their golf courses and other properties.
In January, Trump requested to dismiss the case, but it was denied by Judge Engoron. The justice said Trump’s arguments were “borderline frivolous.”
The case is set to go to trial this October.
Ivanka and her husband Jared Kushner have been building a $32 million mansion in Miami, dubbed Mar-a-Lago 2.
