Ivanka Trump arrested for lying under oath about misuse of inauguration funds
During a Dec. 1 deposition, in which she swore to tell the truth, Ivanka Trump, the eldest daughter of Donald Trump was asked if she had any “involvement” in the inauguration planning process.” She responded, “I really didn’t have an involvement.”
Ivanka testified that if her “opinion was solicited” on an inauguration event, she would “give feedback to my father or anyone who asked for my view or opinion.”
But this was not accurate, according to the documents, which indicate that she was part of the decision-making for various aspects of the inauguration, including even the menus for events.
Ivanka Trump is also accused of stealing money off the top of Trump’s inauguration by over-inflating the price at Trump’s hotels for the event.
Ivanka Trump’s behavior is similar to how her father avoided paying taxes by listing her as a consultant when she was actually an employee.
The DC lawsuit alleges that the Trumps used money from the non-profit inauguration to enrich themselves. Ivanka Trump appears to have been planning the event and raising prices on hotel room rates.
Ivanka Trump lied under oath. The money is still missing, and all signs point to increasing legal trouble for the failed president’s favorite son for one term.
