Ivanka Trump’s evidence at her father’s New York civil fraud trial is being delayed until next week so there is sufficient time for her to be questioned, a judge said.

Former US president Donald Trump’s eldest daughter had been due to go into the witness box on Friday, when the Manhattan trial typically meets for a half-day session, but lawyers in the case said her evidence is likely to take a full day, if not longer.
