Jan. 6 Panel Requests Interview with Ivanka Trump
The House Select Committee investigating the January 6 Capitol riot requested a sit-down interview with former President Donald Trump’s daughter Ivanka Trump.
“The Select Committee wishes to discuss the part of the conversation you observed between President Trump and Vice President Mike Pence on the morning of January 6,” the committee wrote in an eight-page letter to Ms. Trump.
“Similarly, the Select Committee would like to discuss any other conversations you may have witnessed or participated in regarding the president’s plan to obstruct or impede the counting of electoral votes.”
The committee cited information from other interviews with former Trump administration officials, including text messages from Fox News host Sean Hannity’s phone records.
“Testimony obtained by the Select Committee indicates that members of the White House staff requested your assistance on multiple occasions to intervene in an attempt to persuade President Trump to address the ongoing lawlessness and violence on Capitol Hill,” the letter read.
The request comes after the panel reportedly successfully subpoenaed phone records from Eric Trump and Kimberly Guilfoyle, Donald Trump Jr.’s fiancée.
The committee asked Ivanka Trump to sit for an interview as soon as early February.
