Daughter and Assistant to the President of the United States Donald Trump Ivanka forced to appear in court to testify in the case of the plagiarism design of shoes, reports New York Post. This ruling was issued by the Federal Court of Manhattan, New York.
Italian brand luxury shoes Aquazzura back in 2016, he accused Ivanka Trump of copying the design of one of their popular models of sandals - Wild Thingsold for $ 785. Under the brand Ivanka Trump sandals model was released Hettie worth just $ 130, which by design is very similar to Wild Thing.
“Shame on Ivanka Trump! Imitation is not the most sincere form of flattery, ”noted the shoe manufacturer on the page in Instagram.
Judge Catherine Forrest in her ruling noted that she agrees with lawyers Aquazzura that Ivanka Trump is a key person in a lawsuit and must testify. The judge rejected the arguments of Trump's lawyers, who claimed her over-employment at work in Washington. Forrest ordered the daughter of the head of state to appear before the court in October.
“She was presumably personally involved in the actions of the dispute,” the judge said.
The court allowed Ivanka Trump to testify in Washington, not in New York, where the case is being considered.
