An appeals court rejected Ivanka Trump’s request to not testify in the civil fraud trial against her father and brothers on Thursday night. She had been ordered to do so on Nov. 1 after a hearing before New York Supreme Court Justice Arthur Engoron regarding her subpoena from state attorneys even after she was dismissed from the case as a defendant.

“This appeal is taken from each and every part of the Order insofar as it applies to Ms. Trump,” read the appeal, filed by her attorney, Bennet Moskowitz.
