Ivanka Trump reportedly will not physically show her support for her dad, Donald Trump, by appearing at his hush money trial in New York.

The former first daughter was recently sighted in Manhattan this week, but sources say she wouldn't be joining Trump in court, making good on her decision to stay away from politics.

Trump is accused of allegedly falsifying company documents in a $130k payment to former adult film star Stormy Daniels to silence her about an alleged affair they had.

According to Page Six, the former white house advisor is not expected to be seen at her father's hush money trial in New York.

It came around when jurors were being selected for her father's trial in a courthouse downtown, raising speculations that she would attend the session to support him. However, a source revealed that she wouldn't drop by at all and doesn't plan to appear in court throughout the trial.

"I'm told Ivanka has spoken to her father over the last few days and remains as supportive as ever," the insider said.

Having served as cabinet members during her father's first term in office, from January 2017 to 2021, Ivanka and her husband, Jared Kushner, have maintained their distance from the spotlight and the cutthroat world of politics to focus on their family.

According to People magazine, a source in Ivanka's circle claimed she isn't willing to give that up despite her father being the presumptive Republican party nominee for president.

"She is pleased, living her best life," the insider stated. "She left politics totally in the rearview mirror, and so this time around, even if her dad is the leading Republican candidate, she basically doesn't care. She told him when he said he was going to run again that she didn't want to be involved."

While the billionaire mogul attended every day of the trial in the company of his lawyers, Melania was noticeably absent on each occasion.

The Slovenian-born former model's absence in court has caused many to speculate that she was leaving her husband alone to face his legal battle. However, an insider close to the couple has claimed that this is not the case and that Melania is "there for him."

"She's not going anywhere. She's there for him," the source told the DailyMail. "They're going through it together. She's been the rock of the family."

Following the admittance of the 12-person jury, the former president complained about the freezing temperatures in court and lamented how the trial is preventing him from campaigning for the forthcoming elections.

According to NYP, Trump was notably unhappy about the impact of the case on his third attempt to enter the Oval Office, calling the trial an "unfair trial."

"I'm supposed to be in New Hampshire. I'm supposed to be in Georgia. I'm supposed to be in North Carolina, South Carolina," he said. "I'm supposed to be in a lot of different places campaigning, but I've been here all day on a trial that really is a very unfair trial."

He went further to slam the DA on the case as "out of control" and said that the judge on the case, Judge Juan Merchan, is "highly conflicted."
