Jan. 6 House panel asks Ivanka Trump to cooperate with investigation

The House select committee investigating last year’s Capitol riot requested Thursday that Ivanka Trump voluntarily appear before the panel next month. 

In an eight-page letter to the former first daughter, committee Chairman Bennie Thompson (D-Miss.) pointed out that Ivanka was in contact with her father on Jan. 6, 2021, and observed key communications between the 45th president and then-Vice President Mike Pence. 

“On January 6th, you were serving as Advisor [sic] to the President and head of the White House Office of Economic Initiatives and Entrepreneurship, and were present in the West Wing of the White House,” Thompson wrote. “We write to request your voluntary cooperation with our investigation on a range of critical topics.”
