The Jan. 6 committee has received apparently inconsistent testimony from key witnesses on a notable point: just how much effort it took Ivanka Trump to persuade her father to criticize the attack

Three months ago, the panel sent a letter to Ivanka Trump asking her to voluntarily cooperate with its investigators. | Drew Angerer/Getty Images.to Ivanka Trump asking her to voluntarily cooperate with its investigators. Chair Bennie Thompson said investigators wanted to ask her about former President Donald Trump’s behavior as the attack unfolded. The letter homed in on White House staffers’ efforts to get Trump to speak out against the unfolding violence.

“Well, yes, ma’am,” Kellogg replies. “I think she went back there because Ivanka can be pretty tenacious.” In other words, according to these witnesses, it only took the president’s daughter a few minutes to get him to send out a statement responding to the violence. “I defer to Ivanka,” said Kellogg. “She was in with 45 one-on-one. Never saw the transcripts from the 6 January committee so cannot comment on what was in the write-up.”

That said, the statement Trump first tweeted out didn’t seem to have much effect on the chaos. And it drew criticism for urging people to “stay peaceful” even as rioters attacked police officers and broke into the Capitol building. Even the president’s own son Donald Trump Jr. saw that missive alone as insufficient,. “He’s got to condemn this [shit] Asap. The Capitol Police tweet is not enough,” he texted then-chief of staff Mark Meadows on Jan. 6, 2021.
