Renowned Donald Trump biographer, Tim O’Brien, made an intriguing remark on Wednesday. He warned that Ivanka Trump may face dire consequences during her upcoming testimony in her father’s civil fraud trial by stating she could be “carved up like a turkey.”
Ivanka Trump is scheduled to testify next Friday, following the testimonies of her father and brothers, Donald Trump Jr. and , in New York Attorney General Letitia James’ $250 million lawsuit. The lawsuit accuses the former president and the Trump Organization of inflating asset values to secure loans and lucrative deals.
During an interview with MSNBC’s Lawrence O’Donnell, O’Brien expressed his opinion on the trial’s climactic moment, stating, “This weird kind of psycho-drama that’s playing out in the courtroom now is going to get capped at the end of next week with Ivanka’s testimony. And as we all know, Donald Trump has a very perverse and unsettling relationship with his daughter. He’s talked about wanting to date her and sees her as this sort of trophy he can parade around.”
Concerning Ivanka’s testimony, O’Brien cautioned, “She needs to exercise great caution to avoid being misrepresented and deceived about how the Trumps presented their financial statements to banks, insurance companies, and other third parties. Otherwise, the prosecutors will take advantage of her and dismantle her defense.”
Earlier in the interview, O’Brien emphasized that “lying and deception” were not incidental to the Trump Organization but rather integral to its operations, stating, “It’s their modus operandi.”
Furthermore, he described the Trump children as being woefully uninformed, similar to their father, which is why they resort to deception. O’Brien went on to say, “The children’s relationship with their father is akin to a hostage video. They have always been at his beck and call since they were young.”
