The chairman of the committee said Tuesday that Ivanka Trump had been answering investigators' questions and was not “chatty” but had been helpful to the probe.
What started as a congressional and democratic exercise in the peaceful transfer of power, devolved into death, destruction and chaos.Ivanka Trump, former President Donald Trump's daughter and one of those closest to him during the insurrection at the Capitol, is testifying before the House panel investigating the Jan. 6, 2021, attack.
Whether she gives the committee new information or not, her decision to cooperate is significant for the panel, which has been trying to secure an interview with her since late January. The nine-member panel is particularly focused on what the former president was doing as his supporters broke into the Capitol and interrupted the certification of President Joe Biden's victory.
White House advisor Ivanka Trump arrives at a meeting on religious freedom at United Nations headquarters on September 23, 2019 in New York City. Lawmakers have said they want to discuss what Ivanka Trump knew about her father’s efforts, including a telephone call they say she witnessed, to pressure then-Vice President Mike Pence to reject Biden's 2020 election win as part of his ceremonial role overseeing the electoral count. Pence rejected those efforts.
