During the critical week of closing arguments and jury deliberations in former President Donald Trump's criminal trial, his children have been vocal in their support for their father. While Eric and Tiffany Trump have been seen in the courtroom, one notable absence has been Ivanka Trump.
Despite her siblings' presence during the trial proceedings, Ivanka has not made any public appearances at the courthouse. Her husband, Jared Kushner, has also been notably absent. The couple has been seen in various locations such as Miami and Mexico during the trial period.
It is worth mentioning that both Ivanka and Jared were prominent figures during Trump's first presidential campaign and served as advisors in his White House. However, Ivanka had previously expressed her intention to prioritize her young children and family life over political involvement.
Concerns have been raised about Ivanka's absence, especially considering her children are now old enough to understand the gravity of their grandfather's trial. Sources suggest that Ivanka and Jared have not ruled out the possibility of making an appearance before the verdict is announced.
Additionally, Melania Trump, the former first lady, has also been missing from the trial proceedings. Given the nature of the accusations involved, her absence may not come as a surprise.
Despite the absence of key family members, Trump's children have been vocal in their defense of their father, portraying the trial as a political attack rather than a quest for justice. Ivanka has made it clear that she intends to stay away from politics and focus on her family life moving forward.
While the public awaits the verdict in the trial, the question remains whether Ivanka and Jared will choose to make an appearance before the proceedings conclude.
