It makes no sense, family members are not going to testify against each other, unless is some personal problems within them.
She is not a reliable witness.
She grew up among lawyers she is a very smart businesswoman, is very stupid actually calling her to testify against her father.

It's a civil case, not a criminal case. If she pleads the fifth the judge is allowed to infer wrongdoing and use that as part of his judgment. I'd be willing to bet that Trump pleading fifth during his deposition played a large role in the judge's summary judgment.
A civil case usually begins when one person or business (called the "plaintiff") claims to have been harmed by the actions of another person or business (called the "defendant"). The plaintiff starts a court case by filing a "complaint" (a document that outlines the plaintiff’s facts and legal theories and makes a request for relief).

The thing that really bothers me about the all of the Trump charges, lawsuits and court cases is that there's not any against Biden and his family.
As each day tics by Trump's words ring ever truer:
"They're not after me, they're after you; I'm just in the way".

The people of New York.
Criminal fraud is a crime that involves a scheme to cheat or deceive another individual or entity in order to obtain a financial gain or a similar type of advantage. Criminal fraud is considered a “white collar crime.” Any action that is intended to deceive another through false representation of fact and results in detriment to the individual who relied on the information can be an act of criminal fraud.
If an individual intentionally lies about an important key fact in a transaction or relationship and another person or party relies on that misrepresentation to the point at which they suffer harm, then fraud has occurred. Fraud has not occurred when a party provides a fact that they believe is true, but are mistaken.
When a person is accused of criminal fraud, the case is brought by either local, state, or federal prosecutors. They have to prove that the defendant(s) intended to commit the misrepresentation and to gain from it. A criminal fraud case can be pursued even if the fraud was not successful and no one was actually harmed.
