"She's answering questions. I mean, you know, not in a broad,
chatty term, but she's answering questions," Representative
Bennie Thompson, the panel's Democratic chairman, told reporters
at the Capitol.
Her testimony began Tuesday morning and ended around 6 p.m.,
about eight hours later, a source familiar with the testimony
told Reuters.
Asked if he would describe Ivanka Trump as cooperating, Thompson
told reporters, "She came in on her own, that has obviously
significant value. We did not have to subpoena."
Her husband, Jared Kushner, spoke to the Select Committee last
week, as the investigation of the attack on the Capitol expands
to include close relatives of the former president.
Like her husband, Ivanka Trump met with the committee virtually.
Ivanka Trump and her husband both served as advisers in the
Trump White House. Ivanka Trump spent much of the day with her
father on Jan. 6, 2021.
Aides to the Trump family did not respond to a request for
comment.
