WhileIvanka Trumptestified foreight hoursbefore the bipartisan congressional committee investigating the attack on the U.S. Capitol, she wasn’t entirely “forthcoming,” according to an executive summary report released Monday.
The committee — which will release its full report on Wednesday — said in its summary that the former first daughter “was not as forthcoming as [other witnesses] about President Trump’s conduct.”
A portion of Ivanka’s testimony was shared in public hearings that aired in June, showing that the former first daughter believedthat there was no evidence of fraudin the 2020 election, as her father had publicly claimed.
But the committee believes she didn’t share her full recollection of the events that took place on Jan. 6, 2021 — including what happened at a speechDonald Trumpdelivered hours before the Capitol riots. Ivanka’s former chief of staff Julie Radford, however, “had a more specific recollection ofIvanka Trump’s actions and statements,” the committee said.
When committee staff asked Ivanka if she had attended the Stop the Steal rally on the morning of Jan. 6 in an effort to “calm the president,” she said, “no.”
“I don’t know who said that or where that came from,” Ivanka told the committee.
Radford offered a different take in her own testimony, telling the committee that Ivanka was concerned about her father’s demeanor after she heard him speaking to Vice PresidentMike Pence.
“[Ivanka] shared that he had called the Vice President a not – an expletive word.

When committee staff asked Radford specifically what Ivanka said her father called Pence, she responded: “The ‘P’ word.”
Asked during her own testimony whether there were any particular words that she recalled her father using during the conversation that morning with Vice President Pence, Ivanka told the committee: “No.”
The committee’s executive summary was released on the same day it recommended the Department of Justice lay four criminal charges against the 75-year-old former president for allegedly obstructing an official proceeding, conspiracy to defraud the government, inciting an insurrection and conspiracy to make a false statement.
