She and the former president shared three children —Donald Jr.,IvankaandEric— and were married from 1977 to 1992. She remarried twiceafter their highly publicized divorce, but did not have any other children.

New York Attorney GeneralLetitia Jameshas been investigating whether the Trump Organization misstated the value of its assets on annual financial statements, tax submissions and other documents in order to secure loans and insurance coverage and obtain other economic and tax benefits.

The family has said the probe is baseless and the former president’s adult childrenpreviously asked a judge to quashwhat they called an “unprecedented and unconstitutional” bid for their testimony after being subpoenaed in December.

“Each of the individuals was directly involved in one or more transactions under review,” the attorney general’s office said.

President Trump’s middle son, Eric, who serves as an executive vice president at Trump Organization, was subpoenaed earlier and testified in 2020.

Ivana — a businesswoman, fashion designer and the first wife to Donald — died unexpectedly Thursday.
