Ivanka Trump has been spotted leaving New York’s Aman hotel as her father, Donald, faces felony charges related to the hush money scheme to keep porn star Stormy Daniels quiet about an alleged affair.

The 42-year-old former First Daughter flashed a small smile as she walked out of the hotel – which is located just a few feet away from her father’s New York home in Trump Tower on Fifth Avenue.

She cut a solemn figure on Tuesday dressed in all black with her blonde hair down in loose waves.

Ivanka wore what appeared to be a round-necked blazer paired with matching pants.

Finishing off the look, she walked out in a pair of black stiletto heels.

Meanwhile further downtown, her 77-year-old dad, Donald, faces a historic criminal trial, presided over by Judge Juan Merchan, without his daughter by his side.

Father and daughter were seen together last month in Miami at a UFC 299 event, along with her husband, Jared Kushner.

But this week, Donald hasn’t been without support as his glamorous right-hand woman, Margo Martin, has been spotted arriving with him at court.

It is the first-ever criminal trial of a former U.S. president and Monday saw the start of jury selection.

Margo, 28, who shares a striking resemblance to the former President’s wife, Melania, oozed confidence as she entered the courtroom alongside Donald on the first day.

She opted for a chic black pantsuit and leaving her long ombre locks in beach-like waves around her face.

While she has drawn the spotlight in the courtroom this week, Margo has already become a star in her own right, gaining tens of thousands of followers online for flaunting the many lavish perks that come with working with Donald.

She was first propelled into the public eye after a reporter actually mistook her for Melania, 53, as she entered the United States Courthouse in Miami for Donald’s arraignment in a separate case.

Ivanka’s appearance in Manhattan comes after she posted a series of photos this weekend that showed her enjoying a motocross adventure with her kids in Miami.

Dressed in protective gear, the former senior White House advisor posed with her three children – Arabella, 12, Joseph, nine, and Theodore, eight – who sat on dirt bikes, along with husband Jared.

‘Moto Mama,’ she wrote enthusiastically on the post. ‘Kicking up some dust and making memories.’

‘No pit stops needed when you’re fueled by laughter,’ she gushed.

The family’s adrenaline rush comes after Ivanka and Jared had a romantic getaway at the lavish Amangiri resort in Utah.

The family relocated to Miami, Florida, with their three children after her father, Donald, left office in January 2021 – but Utah has a special place for the couple.

In their most recent trip, the couple returned to the star-studded Amangiri, a destination they have visited numerous times over the years.

Her jet-setting lifestyle is a stark contrast to the troubling legal woes her father is currently facing.

The woman at the center of Donald’s ongoing Manhattan trial is porn star Stormy, whose real name is Stephanie Clifford.

She claims she had a sexual encounter with Trump in 2006, shortly after Melania had given birth to their son, Barron.

It happened when the two met at a celebrity golf tournament in Lake Tahoe.

In an interview with CBS’s 60 Minutes that aired March 25, 2018, Stormy said that she and Donald had sex once. She also claims she spanked him with a magazine that had him on the cover.

The former president has denied the affair and claims the trial is a politically-motivated ‘witch hunt.’

On January 12, 2018, the Wall Street Journal reported that then-Trump fixer Michael Cohen paid Stormy $130,000 in October 2016, a month before the presidential election, to stop her from discussing the alleged affair and thus hurting Donald’s chances in the presidential election.

Prosecutors argue that Donald reimbursed Michael in a series of installment payments processed by his business, which prosecutors say were fraudulently disguised as corporate legal expenses in violation of New York law.

Michael, Donald and then-Trump Organization CFO Allen Weisselberg reached an agreement that the fixer would be reimbursed $420,000 in total for the Stormy payment, prosecutors claim.

That includes a $60,000 bonus, $50,000 for a different expense and $180,000 to cover taxes – which would be made through 12 monthly payments of $35,000 each.

Michael submitted invoices for the $35,000 payments, per Trump Organization business records.
