'Made my jaw drop': What left this analyst 'astonished' during Ivanka Trump’s cross-examination

During Ivanka Trump's direct cross-examination Wednesday as part of her father's New York civil fraud trial, legal analyst Lisa Rubin, who has been inside the courtroom, was stunned by what she heard.

"I want to go back to her direct [cross-examination] because at the very end of her direct, they elicited some information that almost made my jaw drop, and it's this," Rubin told MSNBC's Katy Tur. "Donald Trump, as part of his lending agreements with Deutsche Bank, promised them a number of things, but one of them is that he guaranteed that he could repay the principal and the income and the operating expenses of whatever asset he was borrowing for. And that's a big guarantee."

She continued, "What we learned today is that behind the scenes, Donald Trump then entered into an agreement with each of his three adult children, whereby they pledged assets of their own that help him satisfy the guarantee, that according to his contract with Deutsche Bank, was supposed to be his and his alone. He was borrowing money from his kids' piggy banks in order to satisfy Deutsche Bank that he had enough money to borrow from them what he had. And i'm not sure the impact of that struck everyone in the courtroom. But like I said my jaw almost dropped, I almost dropped my phone on the floor. I was just astonished by the proof that Donald Trump was robbing Peter to pay Paul, so to speak."
