The congressional committee probing into the Jan. 6 insurrection has previously extended an invitation to former first daughter and White House adviser Ivanka Trump to testify. A report reveals that Ms. Trump is considering coming before the panel to provide testimony, despite what her father might say or think.
According to a report by the New York Times Wednesday, Ms. Trump is considering appearing before the Jan. 6 committee to testify. The former first daughter’s lawyers are reportedly holding conversations with members of the committee. Ms. Trump was requested to cooperate last month and has yet to be subpoenaed.
Ms. Trump’s spokeswoman also confirmed to the newspaper that she is in discussions with the panel to appear for testimony.
Ms. Trump emerged as a key figure in the Jan. 6 insurrection, as she attempted to persuade her father, Donald Trump, to call off the violence and the mob. The insurrection ultimately left five people dead and dozens injured. The mob was targeting then-Vice President Mike Pence along with House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, among other top Democrats during the siege.
The newspaper also noted that the former president criticized the request by the committee for his three adult children to testify, calling the request “very, very unfair.” According to the book by former White House chief of staff Mark Meadows, he went to Ms. Trump’s office in the West Wing twice to ask her to help him convince Trump to stop his mob of supporters from further breaking into the Capitol.
Should Ms. Trump appear before the Jan. 6 committee to testify, according to attorney Josh Nass, the former White House adviser should “check your arrogance at the door” before appearing before Congress. Nass also gave the same advice to his client Dustin Stockton, who led the “March for Trump” bus tour and was subpoenaed by the committee.
“Check your arrogance at the door, along with your disdain for a political party,” Nass wrote in a piece for NBC. “Commend the hearings for supporting suitable thesis and purpose. Comport yourself like an eighth grader called to the principal’s office. Remain fully engaged and responsive to any and all questions. Show respect and humility without exception. Speak with courtesy and deference.”
