As Trump seeks to downplay his daughter’s role in governing the country during the January 6, 2021 riots, Ivanka Trump still accompanied her father to the White House Missing rally that preceded the US Capitol attack. In an excerpt from her testimony that aired Thursday night, Ivanka Trump was asked about her reaction when Barr said there was no widespread electoral fraud. “It affected my perspective,” said Ivanka Trump. “I respect the Attorney General Bar, so I accepted what he was saying.” Ivanka Trump actually met with the commission in April for nearly eight hours, and CNN previously reported that it had confirmed the critical testimony of other witnesses who said the then president was reluctant to try to withdraw the rioters despite being asked to do so. “They somewhat supported the fact that they told the president that he had to do something to stop the January 6 uprising. That he had to be public with it; he had to be immediate,” commission chairman Bennie Thompson told CNN in an interview. of the committee with Ivanka Trump and her husband Jared Kouchner. “So in that sense … we were able to systematically, with our testimonies and interviews with other witnesses, be able to fill many of the gaps,” Thompson said. The committee also noted Barr’s closed-door testimony, saying Trump’s allegations were “nonsense.” Barr, who resigned in December 2020, said part of the reason he left the Trump administration was because of Trump’s false allegations of fraud (though he did not make that statement publicly at the time). “I made it clear that I do not agree with the idea that the election was rigged and that making these things public, which I told the President, was bullshit,” Barr said in a video released by the commission on Thursday.
