ABC News reports:
State attorney Louis Solomon grew visibly frustrated with Ivanka Trump’s limited recollections during an exchange about Donald Trump’s Old Post Office building in Washington, D.C. Solomon attempted to confront Ivanka Trump with a document that showed that the General Services Administration — which ran the selection process for the renovation of the building — raised concerns about Donald Trump’s financial statements in 2011.
“It was a general presentation. I don’t recall with specificity any discussion of financial statements,” Ivanka Trump said, prompting Solomon to throw his hands in the air. “When I ask a question, she doesn’t remember,” an exasperated Solomon said. “The witness does have a recollection, your honor!” Donald Trump’s lawyers, meanwhile, have continued to object to Solomon asking questions about conduct from over a decade ago.
