Ivanka Trump To Appear Before Jan. 6 Committee: Reports

Ivanka Trump, the eldest daughter of former President Donald Trump, is set to testify before the House Select Committee investigating the January 6, 2021, attack.

Ivanka Trump, a former senior White House adviser, will appear before the panel on Tuesday, sources have told a number of outlets including NBC and ABC.

In a letter to Ivanka Trump on January 20, the committee requested her "voluntary cooperation" about "a wide range of critical topics" related to the Capitol riot.

Rep. Liz Cheney, vice chair of the House Select Committee, later said that they had received "first-hand testimony" that Ivanka Trump asked her father "to please stop this violence" at least twice on January 6 as his supporters were storming the Capitol.

The former president, who was allegedly watching the violence unfold live on television, failed to take any action for more than three hours.

The Committee also said they want to ask Ivanka Trump about the phone conversation her father had with Vice President Mike Pence on the morning of January 6 as "you were present in the Oval Office and observed at least one side of that telephone conversation."

In the run up to the January 6 attack, Trump repeatedly claimed that Pence could have prevented the electoral votes from being certified in Congress in his purely ceremonial role as presiding officer of the Senate, despite the vice president not having the power to do so.

In late January, Trump criticized Pence while claiming he "could have overturned the Election," the first time the former president outlined what he believed should have occurred on January 6.

In their January 20 letter to Ivanka Trump, the Committee added that they 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 panel previously subpoenaed the phone records of Ivanka Trump and another one of the former president's children, Eric Trump.

In response, Donald Trump criticized the House committee for seeking information from Eric and Ivanka, saying it is a "disgrace" that they'll "go after children". They are are aged 38 and 40 respectively.

"They are using whatever powers they have. They couldn't care less. They are vicious people," he added.

Ivanka's husband, fellow former White House senior adviser Jared Kushner, has already met with the committee to testify.

Speaking to CNN, Committee member Rep. Zoe Lofgren said Kushner's six-hour testimony was not a "volatile exchange" and did co-operate where he could.
