The White House will Not block Trump’s daughter and son-in-law, Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner, from Testifying to the House Jan. 6 Select Committee, investigating the Jan. 6 Insurrection.
“The constitutional protections of executive privilege should not be used to shield from Congress or the public information about an attack on the Constitution itself,” White House Communications Director, Kate Bedingfield, told Reporters Tuesday.
Kushner is expected to appear Voluntarily before the Committee this week.
Ivanka Trump is in talks with the Panel over delivering Testimony.
Kushner would be the Highest-Ranking Member of the Trump Administration, to sit for an Interview with Congressional Investigators looking into the Events of Jan. 6.
The House Committee, is investigating a long gap, over Seven hours, in White House Phone Records on the day of the Insurrection.
Trump's son-in-law, was traveling abroad when the Capitol Riot began. The Committee has reported that it has Testimony, that Ivanka Trump was present in the Oval Office, the Morning of Jan. 6, when her Father, spoke by phone, with Vice President Mike Pence.
The Committee’s Probe, is aimed in part at Discovering more about Trump's Iincitement of the Insurrection, and what he did to either encourage the Violence or bring it to a stop.
The White House has previously Rejected asserting Executive Privilege for others who have been, Invited or Subpoenaed, to appear before the Committee, including Trump aides Dan Scavino and Peter Navarro.
The Committee Voted Monday, to recommend the Full House, hold Scavino and Navarro in Criminal Contempt of Congress, for Refusing to Cooperate under Subpoena.
The House will Vote on that Resolution next week.
