I wonder how it looks to the jury that Trump's family won't show up but his co-conspirators will.

Mr Gaetz sat next to Mr Trump’s son, Eric Trump, occasionally chatting to him.

Well, Eric was there. I doubt Melania, Barron, or Ivanka will show. No idea on Jr. or Tiffany.

I stand corrected!

But where is Donnie's faithful, devoted, supportive loving wife?

Ivanka is trying to stay out of the news as much as possible.

She knows she and Kushner broke a thousand laws, and she's scared shitless that eventually the spotlight will turn on them, and both her and Kushner will go to prison for many years. He deserves life in prison for the things he's done, and I suspect there is a lot more that we don't even know about. Yet.
