Former first daughter and senior White House adviser Ivanka Trump is reportedly set to testify before the House select committee investigating the Capitol riot on Tuesday.
Ex-President ’s eldest daughter will meet with members of the January 6 committee remotely, sources told on Tuesday morning.
It is was unclear whether Ivanka will testify in-person or virtually, according to . She will testify after months of negotiations with the committee, according to the sources.
Ivanka was head of the White House Office of Economic Initiatives and Entrepreneurship and in the West Wing on the day of the insurrection that resulted in five deaths.
The committee requested Ivanka’s testimony ‘on a range of critical topics’ in January, including her reported remarks after her father’s call with then-Vice President Mike Pence on the morning of the riot.
A letter the committee sent to Ivanka states that Pence’s national security adviser, retired General Keith Kellogg, testified to the committee that Ivanka was with him in the Oval Office when President Trump called the vice president trying to convince him to overturn the results of the 2020 election.
Ivanka ‘turned to me and said, “Mike Pence is a good man.” I said “Yes he is,”‘ Kellogg said, according to the letter.
The letter also states that the committee has testimony that White House staff asked Ivanka to try to get her father to tell his supporters to back off the Capitol building during the attack.
A representative for Ivanka has not commented publicly on news of her testimony.
Ivanka’s husband Jared Kushner, who also served as a White House senior adviser in the Trump administration, met with the panel last week. A committee member said Kushner provided ‘valuable’ and ‘helpful’ information’.
‘There were some things revealed, but we’ll just share that a little later,’ committee chairman Bennie Thompson said Kushner’s testimony.
