Trump testimony

Ivanka Trump must testify in a dispute with an Italian shoemaker over one of her company’s shoe designs, a judge has ruled. US District Judge Katherine Forrest yesterday rejected a request by the senior White House aide’s lawyers that she be blocked from submitting to a deposition in the trademark infringement lawsuit brought by Aquazzura Italia SRL against Trump and her company IT Collection. The Florence-based company sued United States President Donald Trump’s daughter last year, saying her Hettie shoe was a ‘‘virtually identical’’ knockoff of its popular Wild Thing shoe. Its lawsuit is seeking unspecified damages.
