Ivanka Trump was in Manhattan this week — but don’t expect her to drop by her dad’s trial.
Said a Trumpworld insider: “I’m told Ivanka has spoken to her father over the last few days and remains as supportive as ever.”
But “one thing that is for certain is that she will not be in court for the Stormy Daniels trial, and neither will Melania. The trial remains embarrassing for all the Trump women.”
Ivanka was seen flashing a smile as she left the ritzy Aman hotel in Midtown, while jurors were being chosen in a courthouse downtown to serve in Donald Trump’s hush money trial.
The Aman is a stone’s throw from Trump Tower.
The former first daughter and White House adviser has previously said she’s taking a step back from politics.
A rep for Ivanka did not get back to us.
An upcoming book, Variety editor Ramin Setoodeh’s “Apprentice in Wonderland: How Donald Trump and Mark Burnett Took America Through the Looking Glass,” reveals that the Donald once wanted daughter Ivanka to take over his role on NBC’s “The Apprentice” when he exited.
The show ran for 15 seasons from 2004 until 2017. The current GOP candidate left the series in 2015 to focus on his presidential campaign — and was elected a year later he stepped away from the hit franchise.
“I said, ‘The best person to hire would be Ivanka Trump,’” the pol reportedly recalled. “I didn’t press it. But I felt Ivanka would have been by far the best person you could hire.”
He added in the book, The Post reported, “NBC didn’t like it, because it became like a family thing… But I said, ‘There’s nobody you’re going to hire that will come even close to Ivanka.’ They said, ‘Huh’ … And then they came back with Arnold Schwarzenegger.”
A 12-person jury was finalized in the former president’s current trial on Thursday. “The whole world is watching this hoax,” the presumptive Republican presidential nominee said in court, The Post reported.
