Ivanka Trump is in talks to cooperate with the House select committee investigating the Jan. 6 Capitol riot.
A spokeswoman for the former president’s daughter confirmed that conversations are ongoing more than a month after the Jan. 6 panel sent her a letter requesting an interview.
“Ivanka Trump is in discussions with the committee to voluntarily appear for an interview,” the spokeswoman told the New York Times in a report Wednesday.

Chairman Bennie Thompson touched on four areas in which he wants to question Trump in his letter dated Jan. 20. Thompson said he wanted to ask her about conversations she had or witnessed regarding the plan to overturn the Electoral College results, conversations she engaged in and her actions as the riot unfolded, whether her father had tried to hold up the deployment of National Guard troops, and what her father’s behavior was like weeks after the riot.
Trump, a former senior White House adviser to her father, was in the Oval Office on the morning of Jan. 6, during which time the former president made a phone call to former Vice President Mike Pence accusing him of not being courageous enough to overturn the Electoral College results, retired Lt. Gen. Keith Kellogg, a former national security adviser, had testified.
