WASHINGTON • The U.S. House of Representatives’ panel investigating the deadly Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol on Thursday requested an interview with former President Donald Trump’s daughter and White House aide Ivanka Trump.

In a letter to Ivanka Trump, lawmakers said they were seeking her voluntary cooperation as part of their ongoing probe and would limit their questions to issues related to events surrounding that day, including activities leading up to or influencing it and her role in the White House at that time.

The panel noted that she “was present in the Oval Office” during key conversations leading up to Jan. 6, and observed a telephone conversation between her father and former Vice President Mike Pence on the morning of the Capitol attack.

Donald Trump had attempted to persuade Pence to reject the results of the election.

A statement released by Ivanka Trump’s spokesperson did not address whether she would cooperate with the committee’s investigation.
