Ivanka Trump began testifying Wednesday in the the civil fraud trial that is publicly probing the Trump family business, making an appearance she tried to prevent.

Former president Donald Trump’s elder daughter, who has been in his inner circle in both business and politics, rounds out a major stretch in the trial. Her father gave caustic testimony on Monday, and her brothers Eric Trump and Donald Trump Jr. testified last week.
