A social media post buried inside a newly unsealed federal terrorism complaint appears to place an Iran-backed terror group frighteningly close to first daughter Ivanka Trump during a family trip to Disneyland Paris earlier this year.
According to the complaint, Harakat Ashab al-Yamin al-Islamiya — a group the Department of Justice says is part of the U.S.-designated terror organization Kata’ib Hizballah — issued a message to President Donald Trump via Snapchat on April 20 that specifically referenced Ivanka Trump.
“From the heart of the matter, where your daughter Ivanka, that whore who throws herself into the arms of men, adorns her face lightly and breathes with delight wherever she falls upon the edge of a rich wealthy man,” the message read before warning: “You moron, your daughter was on the brink of death thirteen days ago, but our men don’t kill whores.”
The post goes on to encourage people to kill “arrogant, criminal, cursed Trump.”
Thirteen days before April 20 was April 7, which is the same day Ivanka Trump was visiting Disneyland Paris with her children, according to <a href="https://www.tmz.com/2026/04/09/ivanka-trump-at-disneyland-when-president-threatened-iran/">TMZ</a>. The outlet reported the family was accompanied by security, including guards stationed outside rides. 
No major outlet appears to have connected the date in the threat to Ivanka Trump’s publicly documented Paris trip.
The timing is especially notable because prosecutors say the threat network was overseen by 32-year-old Iraqi national Mohammad Baqer Saad Dawood Al-Saadi, a senior Kata’ib Hizballah operative tied to Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps who was recently arrested on terrorism charges.
According to the complaint, Al-Saadi and his associates were actively operating in Paris around the same time as Ivanka Trump’s visit and had allegedly attempted to bomb the Bank of America building in the city on March 28. Prosecutors say Harakat Ashab al-Yamin al-Islamiya released a propaganda video on March 16, 2026, previewing an attack against the exact building.
Al-Saadi allegedly made a “pledge” to assassinate Ivanka Trump, <a href="https://nypost.com/2026/05/22/world-news/ivanka-trump-targeted-for-assassination-by-iraqi-terrorist-in-twisted-plot-to-avenge-president-taking-out-his-mentor-sources/">reported The New York Post</a>.
“After Qassem was killed, he went around telling people ‘we need to kill Ivanka to burn down the house of Trump the way he burned down our house,’” former Iraqi diplomat Entifadh Qanbar told the Post.
In posts on X in both 2021 and 2023, Al-Saadi <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/ivanka-trump-targeted-in-chilling-plot-tied-to-iran-linked-terror-network">posted a map</a> showing the Florida neighborhood where Ivanka Trump — who is Jewish — lives with her husband, Jared Kushner, and their three children. 
“I say to the Americans look at this picture and know that neither your palaces nor the Secret Service will protect you,” he wrote in the 2021 post. “We are currently in the stage of surveillance and analysis. I told you, our revenge is a matter of time.”
Al-Saadi allegedly coordinated or inspired nearly 20 terrorist attacks across Europe and Canada through Harakat Ashab al-Yamin al-Islamiya, which first emerged following the U.S. Operation Epic Fury attacks on Iran. The group was allegedly created to obscure its ties to Kata’ib Hizballah, Hezbollah, and Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps.

(U.S. Department of Justice.)</div>
According to the complaint, Al-Saadi’s group specifically targeted American, Israeli, and Jewish sites, including an explosives attack against the Bank of New York Mellon building in Amsterdam in March 2026, and attempted to target Jewish institutions inside the United States in early April. The DOJ also cited an arson attack targeting a synagogue in Skopje, North Macedonia, on April 12. Days later, Al-Saadi posted a video showing the synagogue engulfed in flames alongside a red target symbol.
The complaint also says Harakat Ashab al-Yamin al-Islamiya claimed responsibility for a violent stabbing attack in London on April 29, 2026, in which two Jewish men were seriously injured, including a dual U.S.-British citizen. The group allegedly posted a propaganda video on Telegram the same day claiming credit for the attack.
Federal prosecutors say Al-Saadi repeatedly used Telegram, Snapchat, and X to encourage attacks against Americans and Jews. 
On February 28, 2026, the day the Iranian military conflict began, prosecutors say Al-Saadi posted a message urging followers to “kill everyone who supports America and Israel” and target both civilians and military personnel worldwide. That same day, he allegedly issued another call on X encouraging anyone capable of killing an “American or Zionist target” anywhere in the world to begin doing so.
Days later, Al-Saadi “posted a Snapchat message titled ‘Shadow soldiers’ that investigators say was intended to activate terrorist ‘silent cells’ around the world to begin operations in support of Iran and its proxy groups.&#8221;
Authorities also cited a July 2020 post allegedly published by Al-Saadi showing the U.S. Capitol in ruins beneath images of Qassem Soleimani and Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis alongside the message: “Our revenge for the martyred leaders is ongoing. No negotiations with the occupier.”
Federal prosecutors say Al-Saadi was driven by a desire to avenge the death of Qassem Soleimani, the longtime commander of Iran’s IRGC-Qods Force who was killed in a U.S. airstrike ordered by President Trump near Baghdad International Airport in January 2020. The strike also killed Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis, the leader of Kata’ib Hizballah.
Al-Saadi, who grew up in Baghdad, Iraq, allegedly trained in Iran with the IRGC and worked closely with Soleimani prior to his death. Prosecutors say Al-Saadi repeatedly pledged revenge online, posting photos with Soleimani across his social media platforms and portraying the slain commander as a martyr.

Al-Saadi was <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/iran-backed-terror-operative-brought-to-u-s-over-plot-targeting-american-jews?author=Kassy+Akiva&amp;category=News&amp;elementPosition=2&amp;row=0&amp;rowType=Vertical+List&amp;title=Iran-Backed+Terror+Operative+Brought+To+U.S.+Over+Plot+Targeting+American+Jews">reportedly arrested</a> in Turkey before being brought to the United States to face terrorism charges. The Department of Justice said he appeared in federal court in Manhattan earlier this month after being captured overseas and transferred into U.S. custody. Prosecutors say the Iraqi national has been active with Kata’ib Hizballah since approximately 2017.
Federal prosecutors <a href="https://www.justice.gov/opa/pr/iraqi-national-arrested-and-charged-providing-material-support-iranian-backed-terrorist">charged</a> Al-Saadi with six terrorism-related offenses for his activities, including conspiring to provide material support to Kata’ib Hizballah and Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, plotting attacks targeting Americans, conspiring to bomb places of public use, and attempted destruction of property using fire or explosives. Some of the charges carry potential prison sentences ranging from 15 years to life.
According to the Post, Al-Saadi also possessed an Iraqi service passport issued by the Iraqi government, a document typically used by government employees and civil servants that allows for easier international travel.
The Iraqi government has appeared largely silent following Al-Saadi’s arrest, prompting backlash and protests from members of one of Iraq’s largest Shiite Arab tribes, Bani Saad tribe, who described his detention as a “kidnapping.”
According to the Iraqi Kurdistan-based outlet <a href="https://thenewregion.com/posts/5380">The New Region</a>, tribal leader Mazhar Atallah Hussein Alwan Al-Saad sent a letter to senior Iraqi officials condemning the arrest of Mohammad Baqer al-Saadi in Turkey by U.S. authorities and demanding his return to Iraq.
“We consider this a blatant violation of the sovereignty of Iraq, its land and its people,” the tribal leader wrote, while also calling for a case to be filed at the International Court of Justice against those responsible for the arrest.
Videos <a href="https://x.com/iq_alm/status/2057901897508364289?s=42">circulating</a> online on May 22 appeared to show protests in Baghdad over Al-Saadi’s arrest.
At the time of his arrest, FBI Director Kash Patel described Al-Saadi as a “high-value target responsible for mass global terrorism” and praised FBI agents, tactical units, and international partners involved in the operation.
“This was a righteous mission executed brilliantly by our agents, investigators, CIRG tactical units, and interagency partners who delivered yet again,” Patel wrote.
Ambassador Rabbi Yehuda Kaploun, the State Department’s special envoy to monitor and combat antisemitism, <a href="https://x.com/stateseas/status/2055456405398683712?s=46">praised</a> the operation that led to Al-Saadi’s capture and transfer to the United States.
“I am proud that my office assisted efforts to ensure Mohammad Baqer Saad Dawood Al-Saadi — accused of directing and urging others to attack U.S. interests, including by killing Americans and Jews across the globe — will face justice,” Kaploun wrote on X.
Kaploun added that President Trump and Secretary of State Marco Rubio “have been clear: If you target Americans or American interests, we will find you and hold you accountable.”

There were several Trump family members in attendance as Don Jr., 48, tied the knot with socialite Bettina Anderson, 39. President Donald Trump <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/trump-makes-tough-call-on-don-jr-s-bahamas-wedding">announced ahead of time</a> that he would not be there due to his busy schedule. 
“While I very much wanted to be with my son, Don Jr., and the newest member of the Trump Family, his soon to be wife, Bettina, circumstances pertaining to Government, and my love for the United States of America, do not allow me to do so,” Trump shared on Truth Social ahead of the event.
“I feel it is important for me to remain in Washington, D.C., at the White House during this important period of time. Congratulations to Don and Bettina!”
The couple got engaged in December and had reportedly considered holding the ceremony at the White House before choosing the destination wedding.
Donald Trump Jr. was previously married to Vanessa Trump from 2005 until 2018 and shares five children with her. He was later engaged to former Fox News host Kimberly Guilfoyle, but that relationship ended in 2024.

This sounds like the plot of a spy thriller movie, except federal prosecutors say it was real and the target was Ivanka Trump.
Federal prosecutors say a suspected Iran-linked terrorist plotted against Ivanka Trump as payback for President Trump ordering the strike that killed Iranian military commander Qasem Soleimani back in 2020.
According to the New York Post, recently captured terror suspect Mohammad Baqer Al-Saadi vowed to target Ivanka Trump after Soleimani was killed in the U.S. drone strike ordered during Trump’s first term.
Sources told the Post the suspect viewed Ivanka as a symbolic way to “burn down the house of Trump” in retaliation for Soleimani’s death.
The report claims Al-Saadi had a map of the Florida enclave where Ivanka and her husband, Jared Kushner, own a multimillion-dollar home, along with threatening social media posts warning that neither “palaces nor the Secret Service” would protect Americans.
Federal prosecutors say Al-Saadi was arrested in Turkey earlier this month before being extradited to the United States.
According to court filings cited by the Post, investigators accuse him of involvement in multiple terror attacks and attempted attacks targeting American and Jewish sites across Europe and North America, including alleged firebombings, stabbings, and shootings tied to Iran-backed extremist networks.
The Post also reported that Al-Saadi maintained close ties to Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps and Iraqi militia groups connected to Soleimani.
Photos included in federal filings reportedly show the suspect meeting with Soleimani at military facilities, posing with missiles, and posting threats online for years.
One image allegedly posted by the suspect showed a map near Ivanka Trump’s Florida neighborhood alongside an ominous message about “surveillance and analysis.”
The allegations arrive as tensions involving Iran and Iranian-backed terror groups remain a major focus for the Trump administration following Operation Epic Fury.
Neither Ivanka Trump nor the White House publicly commented on the alleged plot.

On Saturday, Israeli citizens packed the streets of what&#8217;s been dubbed &#8220;Hostage Square&#8221; in Tel Aviv, showing their gratitude for President Donald Trump, who brokered a peace deal to end Israel’s two-year war in Gaza and release Israeli hostages.
Those in attendance repeatedly chanted &#8220;Thank you, Trump,&#8221; wore &#8220;MAGA&#8221; apparel, and even held a massive banner that called for the president to receive the Nobel Peace Prize.

President Donald Trump’s daughter Ivanka Trump showed off her very impressive martial arts skills in a video that has since gone viral on social media.
In the clip posted on <a href="https://x.com/ValenteBrother/status/1903157034679185610">X</a> shared by a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu studio in Miami Beach, Florida, Trump’s daughter dons traditional Ju-Jitsu attire as she kicked, punched, and flipped guys her size to the ground.
Several times in the clip, Ivanka appears to be fending off a possible attacker. At one point, Ivanka defends herself from the other person on the mat who’s carrying a knife. Within a few short moves, Trump’s daughter is able to secure her body into a position to eventually rid her possible attacker of his weapon, which we see drop to the floor.
The martial arts school captioned the post, “Jiu-Jitsu is more than a martial art. Rooted in tradition and guided by the 753 Code, it builds physical confidence, mental clarity, and emotional balance.” They tagged Ivanka in the post. It has more than 1.4 million views at the time of this publication.

Ivanka also shared the viral video, <a href="https://x.com/IvankaTrump/status/1903175149144133863">captioning</a> it with a ju-jitsu emoji. Her post has also gone viral with more than 1.3 million views to date.
Ivanka has been keeping a relatively low profile during her father&#8217;s second presidency compared to his first one. In January, she traveled to Washington, D.C., with her husband Jared Kushner and their three kids for the official swearing in of her father as the 47th President of the United States in the United States Capitol.
She was last seen in D.C. when she and Kushner attended Trump’s address to a Joint Session of Congress in March.

In a later <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/DFE9AJJuOEc/">post</a>, the designer shared the initial drawing of the gown, which he wrote was nothing more than &#8220;a simple scribble with a marker on a piece of paper &#8230;&#8221; It would end up being the focal point for the dress, which included a fitted bodice and black ribbon that wrapped around the entire dress.
In 2017, Melania asked Herve Pierre to create the gown she wore to the Inauguration Balls during President Trump’s first presidency. It was a strapless cream-colored gown with a red trim around the waist. A <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/BeIwcHAn801/">year later</a> he shared details about getting to design the first lady&#8217;s dress. 
“A year ago already &#8230; The First Lady gave me the HONOR to design her gown for the inauguration,” Pierre wrote. “What a unique experience it was to collaborate with her &#8230; I shall never forget &#8230; I still pinch myself she chose me !! All my warmest wishes to our First Lady.”
While Melania’s gown stole the night, Trump’s daughter Ivanka Trump also made headlines when she stepped out on Monday to the various balls wearing a gorgeous recreation of Givenchy’s haute couture gown designed for Audrey Hepburn in the 1954 film “Sabrina,” <a href="https://pagesix.com/2025/01/21/style/ivanka-trump-wears-gorgeous-white-gown-complete-with-black-floral-patterns-at-donald-trumps-inaugural-ball/?utm_source=instagram&amp;utm_medium=social&amp;utm_campaign=pagesix&amp;utm_content=pagesix_feed">Page Six</a> noted.

Ivanka’s strapless fitted black-and-white gown included beautiful embroidered black floral motifs throughout along with a bustle-like overskirt. She completed the look with black opera gloves and black pumps.
A White House representative told the outlet that Ivanka was “honored” to wear the gown and “incredibly grateful [to the] Arnault family and the Givenchy atelier for creating this masterpiece, capturing the original artistry and elegance with remarkable precision and craftsmanship.”
“Audrey Hepburn has long been a personal inspiration to Ivanka,” the rep added. “She views it as a great privilege to honor her legacy in this way, and is incredibly grateful to the team at Givenchy for bringing this moment to life.”

Luxury brand Oscar de la Renta is not being shy about styling conservative women in Trump&#8217;s orbit, which was once basically unheard of.
Oscar de la Renta — which has styled A-list celebrities like Jessica Chastain, Kaley Cuoco, and Anne Hathaway — boasted about dressing incoming Second Lady Usha Vance and making a custom dress for Trump&#8217;s daughter Ivanka Trump for inauguration-eve events. 
&#8220;Incoming Second Lady, Usha Vance, wears a custom noir velvet gown with asymmetric floral accents and a sweetheart neckline for the Vice President’s Dinner,&#8221; the brand posted to X on Sunday.

Love him or hate him, we can’t ignore that when it comes to parenting, Donald Trump seems to be a pretty good father. The proof is evident in the behavior of his kids. Certainly, kids who have an ax to grind don’t act like his kids do.
First, adult sons and daughters who harbor deep anger toward a parent never speak highly of him or her, regardless of how famous they are. In fact, fame can be an ideal opportunity for angry kids to humiliate their parents. Trump’s older kids, Eric, Ivanka, and Donald Jr. don’t behave this way. In fact, they have no reason to publicly support their father so enthusiastically other than the belief that their father is a good and capable man. Sure, they may want to applaud him to further their own careers, but they don’t need to do this. They are each highly successful on their own. If they had lukewarm sentiments about their dad, they would at least fade into the background. But they haven’t. They have taken advantage of large public platforms to convince us that he has strong character and extraordinarily strong abilities to improve America. They wouldn’t do this if they believed that his intentions were other than altruistic. The fact that they have successfully convinced millions of Americans that he has what it takes to lead our country can only come from sincere sentiments.
Second, both his daughter-in-law and son-in-law are two of his most ardent supporters. How many in-laws boast about their father-in-law not only privately, but also publicly? Lara has no motive to boast other than genuine admiration and Jared could certainly stay silent.
When it comes to his business life, Trump puts his grown kids front and center. Fathers who want to dominate the spotlight, don’t do this. They own the public space and keep their adult kids in the background, in part, to avoid the risk that their kids will make derogatory statements about them. Trump takes the risk because he is confident they won’t humiliate or criticize him. He knows they will always support him.
When Trump’s older kids were young, he protected them from the paparazzi. He worked to keep his kids out of the spotlight until they wanted to jump into it of their own volition. His first three kids went away to school so that the press would leave them alone. Tiffany and Barron now enjoy that same privacy so they too can live their own lives. The president-elect could easily push all of them into the spotlight to make himself look like a good father, but he doesn’t. Eric, Ivanka, and Donald Jr., along with Lara Trump, put themselves in the public and political arenas to bolster President-elect Trump’s career.
When it comes to raising his family, Trump appears to have nothing to hide. Most fathers would be afraid to give their kids the freedom to say what they want about their dad. Who among us would have the confidence to give our kids such a large media presence to say whatever they want about us? Not me. Only a father who feels confident about the job he has done would do so.
Many divorced couples carry resentment and anger after their breakup with their spouse and psychologists know how damaging the animosity can be on the couple’s kids. Donald has kept his kids from a lot of pain by embracing friendships with his two ex-wives. And while Ivana Trump passed away in 2022, we still see photos of Marla Maples, Melania, and Donald standing together smiling for the camera at Tiffany Trump’s wedding.
The peculiar thing about the president-elect’s life is that he seems to have successfully split himself into two men: the father and the political genius. In his former role, he appears to have worked hard at having close relationships with his kids. To the best of his ability, he has tried to spend as much time as possible with them. This is no easy task when you are running a multi-million-dollar real estate empire and then while being president. Succeeding at both takes impossible time and energy and yet, with these challenges, he has somehow stayed close with his kids.

The other side of Trump is hard to applaud. He has been accused of multiple incidents of sexual harassment and harmful sexual behavior toward women. He has admitted to being a poor husband at times, and his numerous public affairs with women confirm this. Good husbands don’t cheat on their wives or sexually harass other women. The peculiar part is that his five kids know this and still publicly support and encourage him. This occurs only because, in some genuinely incredible feat, Trump has found a way to communicate to his kids that being their father is a much higher priority than even being a husband, businessman, or politician. His life as a father is completely separate from his work life, and his kids must feel this. If they refused to forgive or ignore his deep flaws they would take every opportunity to denounce him on the worldwide stage.
Donald Trump is a complex man. He is both a good man and a villain. This is hard for people to understand. The truth is, however, that we are all complex beings. Like him, we are not simply good or evil, kind or cruel. We are both. Certainly, as a man, Trump has made poor decisions, and offended many people to the point where they despise him. But clearly, he has done something well when it comes to his kids. And their behavior is a testimony to his personal success as a father.

<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/ivanka-trump" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Ivanka Trump</a> and the Love and Light Foundation delivered Starlink terminals to flood-ravaged areas of North Carolina after southeastern states were devastated by Hurricane Helene.
In a post on Wednesday on <a href="https://x.com/Unitedcajunnavy/status/1841493597679472973" target="_blank" rel="noopener">X</a>, the United Cajun Navy-Search &amp; Rescue, Disaster Response &amp; Recovery posted a clip showing hundreds of boxes of the equipment that had been flown in allowing for high-speed internet for victims of the hurricane in remote areas. Starlink provides satellite internet service from Space X, which was founded by Tesla CEO <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/elon-musk" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Elon Musk</a>.
“YUGE shout out to @IvankaTrump and the Love and Light Foundation for flying in 300 STARLINK units for the #helene victims of the #NorthCarolinaFlood. #unitedisstrength #unitedcajunnavy #CajunNavy #Helene,” the United Cajun Navy’s post read.
In another post on X, Starlink said it was providing “free service for 30 days in regions affected by Hurricane Helene,” with a link about how the program worked.
“Starlink aims to enable anyone impacted by a natural disaster to be able to access internet connectivity,” the <a href="https://www.starlink.com/support/article/58126733-e4d2-db62-b919-9da261a4e096">linked website</a> read. “For those in areas that were impacted by Hurricane Helene, Starlink is available and temporarily offering free service for the first month.”

On Monday, former <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/donald-trump" target="_blank" rel="noopener">President Donald Trump</a> traveled to the area and said he’d spoken to Musk about getting Starlink in there to help.

Trump&#8217;s youngest child, Barron Trump, was reportedly with his father at the rally when the shots were fired.
The former president himself eventually released a statement on Truth Social.
“I want to thank The United States Secret Service, and all of Law Enforcement, for their rapid response on the shooting that just took place in Butler, Pennsylvania,” the former president <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/trump-releases-statement-after-assassination-attempt-says-he-was-shot-in-the-ear" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a>. “Most importantly, I want to extend my condolences to the family of the person at the Rally who was killed, and also to the family of another person that was badly injured. It is incredible that such an act can take place in our Country.”
“Nothing is known at this time about the shooter, who is now dead,” Trump continued. “I was shot with a bullet that pierced the upper part of my right ear. I knew immediately that something was wrong in that I heard a whizzing sound, shots, and immediately felt the bullet ripping through the skin. Much bleeding took place, so I realized then what was happening.&#8221;
&#8220;GOD BLESS AMERICA!” he closed the post.

‘I Love You Dad’: Trump Children React To Assassination Attempt On Their Father

2024 Election

Donald Trump&#8217;s youngest son, Barron, is stepping into politics for the first time as the 18-year-old was selected by the Florida Republican Party on Wednesday to be one of the state&#8217;s at-large delegates for the Republican National Convention, NBC News <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/donald-trump/barron-trump-florida-delegate-republican-national-convention-rcna151388" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a>.
Barron, who will graduate from high school next week, joins his half-siblings Don Jr., Eric, Ivanka, and Tiffany in entering Republican politics. Don Jr., Eric, and the former president&#8217;s youngest daughter Tiffany will also be among the 41 RNC delegates from Florida, according to <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/politics/barron-trump-enter-politics-florida-delegate-gop-convention" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Fox News</a>.
A Trump campaign official <a href="https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/barron-trump-picked-serve-florida-delegate-republican-national/story?id=110049809" target="_blank" rel="noopener">told</a> ABC News that Barron is &#8220;on the delegation roster and &#8230; is very interested in our nation&#8217;s political process.&#8221;
Florida GOP Chair Evan Power said, &#8220;The (Republican Party of Florida) is ready for a great convention in Milwaukee, but more importantly, we are excited as we continue to lay the groundwork in Florida for success. Mark my words, we are going to win and we will win big in November!&#8221;
Barron was recently cast into the spotlight during his father&#8217;s hush-money trial in New York as Trump&#8217;s lawyers argued before Judge Juan Merchan that their client should be allowed a day off to attend his son&#8217;s graduation ceremony. Merchan agreed to allow Trump to attend Barron&#8217;s graduation, which is <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-13393359/Donald-trump-barron-son-graduation-attend-ceremony.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">scheduled</a> for Friday, May 17.
The presumptive Republican presidential nominee is stuck in a Manhattan courtroom four days a week as he tries to campaign for the White House. Trump&#8217;s multiple civil and criminal trials have also affected his children.
In Trump&#8217;s New York civil business fraud case, Don Jr., Eric, and Ivanka all <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/donald-trump/trump-family-take-stand-250-million-civil-fraud-trial-rcna122806" target="_blank" rel="noopener">testified</a> last year as the New York Democratic Attorney General sought punishment for Trump and his organization, alleging he inflated his net worth and financial statements. The Trump Organization, which was founded by the former president&#8217;s father, is now run by Don Jr. and Eric. Ivanka left her leadership position when she joined her father in the White House as an advisor.
