Ivanka Trump asked to cooperate with Capitol attack committee

Investigators seek testimony from former first daughter, with panel increasingly focused on Donald Trump's inner circle

The House select committee investigating the Capitol attack is asking Ivanka Trump, the daughter of the former president, to appear for a voluntary deposition to answer questions about Donald Trump's efforts to stop the certification of Joe Biden's election victory.

The move by the panel marks an aggressive new phase in its inquiry into the 6 January insurrection, as House investigators seek for the first time testimony from a member of the Trump family about potential criminality on the part of the former president.
