Lori Loughlin is reportedly afraid that her daughters Olivia Jade and Isabella Rose will be traumatized if they're called on to testify in a bribery and money-laundering trial of their parents. But some sources have said that Olivia Jade knew about the alleged bribery scheme, and that could pose another big danger for Loughlin if Olivia takes the stand. Read on for details.

Lori Loughlin and her husband Mossimo Giannulli‘s future is up in the air as they face time in prison for their alleged involvement in the college admissions scandal, but the Fuller House star is most afraid for the couple’s daughters Olivia Jade, 19, and Isabella Rose, 20, a legal source tells PEOPLE.
“Lori is very concerned about what a trial will do to her daughters,” says the legal source. “It will undermine every accomplishment they have in the future and it will be part of their story forever.”
On Monday, Both Loughlin, 54, and Giannulli, 55, pleaded not guilty to both charges they face: mail fraud and money laundering conspiracy. If convicted, they face up to 20 years in prison for each charge.
“It’s not in their best interest for this to go to trial, and Lori knows it. Because if it goes to trial, the girls will have to take the stand, and be cross examined by a prosecution that wants nothing more than to put a notch on their belt,” says the legal source.
The source adds, “Lori is very afraid that her daughters will have to testify. That will traumatize them even more.”
