Former President Donald Trump has asked many of his aides and advisers claim privileges and resist the calls from the selection committee of the Parliament that is investigating the attack on the Capitol on January 6, 2021. But not his daughter and son-in-law. I said, ‘Everything you want to do is okay with me.’ “I did not even talk to them about it,” Trump told the Washington Post in an April interview. “Do not care what they say. Let them tell the truth. I told them, “Just tell the truth.” ” But when the public got their first glance at Thursday night about what Ivanka Trump and Jared Kouchner had to say, the former president appeared less generous – issuing a statement rejecting her deposition. “Ivanka Trump did not participate in the examination or study of the election results,” Trump wrote on the Truth Social platform. “He had been checking out for a long time.” Trump reacted to a short clip by Ivanka Trump that was played during the opening statement of spokeswoman Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.), In which the daughter of the former president said that she accepted the conclusion of Attorney General William P. Barr that fraud that affects the outcome – even though her father continued to publicly falsely insist that it had been stolen. “It affected my perspective,” Ivanka Trump said in the video. “I respect the Attorney General Bar, so I accepted what he was saying.” The disagreement marks a new reversal in a close father-daughter relationship that has covered family, business and politics, revealing a rift that has opened up since the 2020 election, according to other Trump advisers. Prior to Jan. 6, Ivanka Trump broke up with her father and siblings to avoid baseless allegations of fraud and attempts to overturn the election results. On the day of the Capitol uprising, he repeatedly tried to persuade the president to make a statement or video calling on his supporters to stop the attack, The Post reported. This intensity could increase as the committee holds longer hearings this month. Ivanka Trump’s descriptions of her efforts to force her father into action on January 6 have made her a key witness for investigators, said people familiar with her testimony. The commission has interviewed both Ivanka Trump and Kouchner for hours and has also indicated it will make transfers public. “You will probably get a large dose of Jared and Ivanka in the future,” said a lawyer representing other witnesses who spoke on condition of anonymity because the allegations were confidential. Sources in the committee found Ivanka Trump and Kushner to be sometimes helpful and sometimes frustrating, according to many advisers – but particularly helpful in understanding Trump’s soul. Trump told the Post in an interview that he had not been told in advance what they planned to say in their statement and that he considered the commission’s focus on Ivanka a “harassment”. The impact of the testimony was enhanced on Thursday with the use of a video clip – a bold step in a congressional inquiry that surprised even those who watched closely. The clip was made for one of the most dramatic moments in the first audition, which attracted a television audience of almost 19 million Americans. “I do not know if anyone thought the video would be shown during prime time,” said a former Trump White House adviser who, like others interviewed on the report, spoke on condition of anonymity to cover private conversations. . Representatives of Ivanka Trump, Kouchner and Donald Trump did not respond to requests for comment. But another former Trump adviser has denied that Trump was angry with his daughter over the testimony. The purpose of his statement, said the former adviser, was to emphasize that Ivanka did not participate in legal discussions. The committee also played a brief excerpt from Kouchner’s testimony, in which he dismissed threats by White House adviser Pat Chipolone to resign in protest of some favoritism. “Somehow I took it upon myself to grumble, to be honest with you,” Kouchner said in the video. Trump has made no public response to Kouchner’s testimony. In particular, he has complained about Kouchner’s role in the re-election campaign and the many White House efforts for which Kouchner sought praise, according to three people who spoke with Trump. Since Trump ousted him, his daughter and son-in-law have not attended meetings on political travel, spending or other parts of his business politics and have rarely spoken to other advisers. The couple reportedly bought a property on an exclusive island in Miami-Dade. An adviser to the president regularly said: “I have seen Jared once.” But the former president continues to speak regularly with Ivanka Trump. His Friday post also appeared to defend his daughter’s testimony that he was “just trying to respect Bill Bar” – about whom Trump had much harsher words. Other conservatives have criticized the use of video as a cheap shot. “Ivanka Trump’s clip has received a lot of attention, but its inclusion was completely pointless and apparently intended to simply embarrass her,” National Review editor Rich Lowry said on Twitter. Deciding to work with the commission, Ivanka Trump and Kouchner may have considered the criminal investigators’ use of aggression against witnesses who refuse to appear. “They did not want to be in the same category as Steve Bannon and Peter Navarro,” said the lawyer representing other witnesses, referring to former Trump advisers who have been indicted for defying the commission’s calls. Ivanka Trump has long been involved in her father’s business ventures, including a New York apartment project that recently came to the attention of prosecutors but no charges, and the Washington hotel has been the focus of multiple investigations and lawsuits during the conflict of interest. of. She also started launching her own line of clothing and Kouchner brought his own wealth, media ventures and family real estate empire. As the couple bypassed anti-nepotism rules to take up jobs in the White House, Ivanka Trump initially presented herself as a mediating force. Once a Democrat who advocated for gay rights and abortion rights, she later announced that she had become a “Republican Trump” and opposed abortion, prompting speculation about her own political ambitions. The special treatment of the couple as the only advisers who could choose their own positions and could not be fired was often a painful point for the other staff members. “They could float in and out whenever they wanted, while the others did not have that luxury,” said the former White House official. “They sold the whole thing in the beginning as people who could mitigate it. Obviously they could not do that. “In the end, they knew they weren’t going to change his mind, so why bother with a bunch of things like that?” In another indication of the couple’s unhappy independence, they have in the past shown a rare willingness among Trump’s confidants to work with investigators. During the special prosecutor’s investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election, Kouchner collaborated with respected lawyers who made compromising public statements, in contrast to the more militant tone of Donald Trump’s legal team. It is unknown at this time what he will do after leaving the post. The commission’s letter asked Trump to block Trump’s plan to block the vote count if he sought to block the National Guard and what he did in the days following the attack on continuing threats of violence.
