The House committee investigating the Jan. 6, 2021, insurrection at the U.S. Capitol sent a letter Thursday to Ivanka Trump asking the daughter of and onetime White House adviser to former President Donald Trump to voluntarily cooperate in its probe.
In an interview with ABC News earlier this month, Rep. Liz Cheney, the committee’s vice chair, said the panel has firsthand testimony that Ivanka Trump at least twice asked her father to “stop this violence” as a mob of Trump supporters stormed the Capitol while lawmakers met to certify Joe Biden’s win in the presidential election.
On Wednesday, Trump was dealt a major blow when the Supreme Court rejected, 8-1, the former president’s request to block the National Archives from turning over White House records sought by the committee.
