The House select committee investigating last year’s Capitol riot requested Thursday that Ivanka Trump voluntarily appear before the panel next month.
Committee Chairman Bennie Thompson , pointed out that Ivanka was in contact with her father on Jan. 6, 2021 and observed key communications between the 45th president and former Vice President Mike Pence.
The letter outlines four subjects of the committee’s potential interview with Ivanka, including any conservations she “may have witnessed or participated in regarding the President’s plan to obstruct or impede the counting of electoral votes,” the former president’s immediate response — or lack thereof — to the deadly riot, whether her father gave any order to deploy the National Guard to the Capitol, and his conduct and activities in the days that followed.
“One of the President’s discussions with the Vice President occurred by phone on the morning of January 6th. You were present in the Oval Office and observed at least one side of that telephone conversation,” the letter read.
