Ivanka Trump will be the state's last witness in their case against Trump.
Then Trump's lawyers will begin their defense. I don't know if that will be immediately or another day. Ivanka was originally a defendant in this case, but since she left the Trump Organization in Feb 2016, and an appeals court said the statue of limitations had run out on her. Don Jr and Eric who didn't go to the White House are defendants.
Trump weighs in as daughter prepares to take stand: ‘Sad!’ Former President Trump expressed his displeasure with his daughter, Ivanka, taking the stand Wednesday in the New York civil fraud trial.
“Tomorrow my wonderful and beautiful daughter, Ivanka, is going to the Lower Manhattan Courthouse, at the direction of Letitia Peekaboo James, the Corrupt and Racist New York State Attorney General, who has allowed Murder and Violent Crime in New York to flourish, and a Trump Hating, out of control Clubhouse appointed Judge, Arthur Engoron, who viciously ruled against me before the trial even started, wouldn’t even consider a Jury, and said that Mar-a-Lago, in Palm Beach, Florida, is worth $18,000,000 when, in fact, it is worth 50 to 100 times that amount,” the former president wrote on Truth Social.
Ivanka Trump, who is a former Trump Organization executive, is set to testify in the trial Wednesday, stepping back into public view after taking some time away from it.
In emails to her counsel, the attorney general’s office said Ivanka’s household staffing, credit cards, taxes and New York housing were still being paid for or managed by the Trump Organization. ......
While Ivanka was dismissed from the case in June, the judge ruled that the dismissal did not prevent her from testifying.

Donald Trump refused to take down a post attacking the law clerk of the judge overseeing his bank fraud trial in New York—blatantly violating the court’s gag order—and lawyers on both sides have just been notified that hell is nigh.
The New York Attorney General’s Office and the former president’s defense lawyers were told late Thursday that the issue will come up Friday morning in court, according to a source with knowledge of those discussions.
Trump put up a post on Truth Social. And it also went up on this campaign website. It was taken down on Truth Social, but it was never taken down on his campaign website.
Judge Engoron threatens Donald Trump with PRISON for violating his gag order. Trump didn't remove the Truth Social post berating Engoron's staff from his campaign website.
He just opened court with this:

Jury selection could take a couple of weeks. Reporters are saying Cheesebro has rejected a plea deal, some reporters say his lawyers are still in talks with prosecutors.
