A US judge has ruled that Ivanka Trump, daughter of former President Donald Trump, must testify in a civil fraud trial involving her father, brothers, and family business.

In a Friday ruling, Judge Arthur Engoron sided with New York state lawyers who had argued that Ivanka was a relevant witness in the case, after she was previously dismissed as a defendant.
