Ivanka struts Miami Grand Prix red carpet as father stands trial

Any concerns Ivanka Trump might have about her father's 34-count felony trial taking place in a Manhattan courtroom were not apparent as she strutted and posed on the red carpet in Miami as part of this weekend's Grand Prix festivities.

On Friday, Donald Trump was back in Judge Juan Merchan's courtroom for the end of the second week of testimony related to hush money paid to adult film star Stormy Daniels. A conviction could lead to jail time.

Moments before former Trump aide Hope Hicks took the stand as a prosecution witness, the New York Post's Page Six posted photos of the "first daughter" living it up with her husband on Thursday night 1,300 miles away.

According to Page Six, "Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner geared up for the F1 Miami Grand Prix 2024 weekend on Thursday as they enjoyed a night out at American Express Presents Carbone Beach — and Donald Trump’s daughter looked ready to dance the night away in satin and sparkles," with the report helpfully adding, "The former first daughter, 42, wore a navy Clio Peppiatt minidress ($1,230) featuring a corset-style top and a draped overlay at the waist."

The report went on to note that Ivanka has yet to show up at her father's trial, unlike her brother Eric Trump who made an appearance on Tuesday.

Questions have been raised about the Trump family keeping away from the courthouse. Support of the patriarch could prove useful in a trial with an alleged affair before the 2016 presidential election as the centerpiece, experts have said.

In an interview on MSNBC's "Morning Joe" this week, former Trump associate Anthony Scaramucci pointed out, "Eric Trump showed up yesterday, but no one's in the court. Family members have said they're not going to go work for him back in the White House. Melania is absent, and I think this plays a bigger part of the story, and it's a bigger toll on him than people imagine."

"Whether you like him or dislike him, he worked with his family on real estate, he worked with his family on 'The Apprentice,' he brought his family into the White House. They are not there with him, and I think that's something that bothers him way more than anybody is letting on."
