Alex Cannon shares Meadows' response to voter fraud: 'So there's no there there?' 1:07.
Former President Donald Trump on Friday discounted his own daughter's testimony that the 2020 presidential election results were not fraudulent.
“Ivanka Trump was not involved in looking at, or studying, Election results. The House select committee emphasized that there is much more testimony to come in the five remaining hearings across the next two weeks and that it has obtained powerful visuals as evidence. Trump’s rebuke of his daughter comes on the heels of Thursday’s Jan. 6 select committee hearing, where lawmakers showed recorded interviews with Ivanka Trump, former Attorney General William Barr and Trump campaign advisers testifying that the former president had indeed lost the 2020 election.
The former president, responding to videotaped testimony played at the Jan. 6 hearing, said Ivanka Trump had been “checked out” and was not involved in ...
Ms. Trump was a senior adviser in the White House, and she continued to work in the administration until the end. Her husband, Jared Kushner, who was also a senior adviser in the White House, attended several meetings about postelection strategy with a range of political and West Wing advisers, as well as lawyers like Rudolph W. Giuliani. “I NEVER said, or even thought of saying, ‘Hang Mike Pence,’” Mr. Trump wrote on the social media site. In another post on the site, Mr. Trump described the committee as a “totally partisan, POLITICAL WITCH HUNT!” And in two other posts, he attacked Mr. Barr, calling him a “coward,” “weak and frightened,” “stupid” and “scared stiff of being impeached.” “She had long since checked out and was, in my opinion, only trying to be respectful to Bill Barr and his position as Attorney General (he sucked!).” She testified that she respected Mr. Barr and “accepted what he was saying.”
Ivanka Trump had said she accepted Bill Barr's statement that the Justice Department found no fraud sufficient to overturn the election.
"They kinda supported the fact that the President was told he had to do something to stop the January 6 insurrection. "It affected my perspective," Ivanka Trump said. "Ivanka Trump was not involved in looking at, or studying, Election results.
The former first daughter should probably consider the witness protection program.
Also, his denials would be a lot more convincing if he wasn’t literally on tape defending the “Hang Mike Pence” calls. But the fact that she did, to the January 6 committee, obviously makes her father look even worse than he already did—and clearly, he knows it. For the entirety of her 40 years on earth, Ivanka Trump has had the dubious honor of being Donald Trump’s favorite child.
Ivanka Trump offered a dubious excuse to distance herself from her dad's election lies. After the Jan. 6 hearings, Donald Trump used the same excuse to ...
During its first public hearing on June 9, the January 6 committee aired snippets of testimony from several figures close to Trump, all of whom made it clear that they knew his stolen-election claims were bogus and told him as much. What’s even bolder is that Trump himself is trying to use the same excuse to downplay Ivanka contradicting him before the House committee investigating January 6. Earlier this week, sources so close to Jared Kushner that they are aware of his shower habits and middle-of-the-night conversations with his wife Ivanka Trump told the New York Times that the couple started mentally distancing themselves from Donald Trump’s administration on November 5, 2020.
In testimony to the congressional investigation of the deadly Jan. 6, 2021 insurrection, Donald Trump's Jewish daughter and son-in-law made clear how much ...
The statements made public confirm reports that Kushner and Ivanka Trump had distanced themselves from Trump since the election. The hearing Thursday during prime time was led by its chairman, Mississippi Rep. Bennie Thompson, a Democrat, and Cheney, his deputy. She had long since checked out and was, in my opinion, only trying to be respectful to Bill Barr and his position as attorney general (he sucked!)” But Ivanka Trump continued to publicly back her father’s efforts to overturn the election through the courts. Trump’s pardons in his final days drew scrutiny because they disproportionately favored his supporters and others who were close to him. “Like I said,” Kushner said, “my interest at that time was on trying to get as many pardons done.

She’s in Washington, saying stuff about you that totally sucks and that I would never say. She’s never even here. “I would never, ever say stuff like that about you.”
Former president Donald Trump has demanded that many of his aides and advisers claim privilege and resist subpoenas from the House select committee ...
In another sign of the couple’s uneasy independence, they have in the past shown a rare willingness among Trump insiders to cooperate with investigators. “They could float in and out when they wanted to, while the rest of everybody else didn’t have that luxury,” the former White House official said. Ivanka Trump has long participated in her father’s business ventures, including a New York condo project that recently drew prosecutors’ scrutiny but no charges, and the Washington hotel at the center of multiple conflict-of-interest investigations and lawsuits during his presidency. As the couple sidestepped anti-nepotism rules to take White House jobs, Ivanka Trump initially presented herself as a moderating force. “The Ivanka Trump clip has gotten a lot of attention, but its inclusion was entirely gratuitous and clearly meant simply to embarrass her,” National Review’s editor in chief, Rich Lowry, said on Twitter. The aim of his statement, the former adviser said, was to emphasize that Ivanka wasn’t involved in legal discussions. On the day of the Capitol riot, she repeatedly tried to convince the president to make a statement or video calling for his supporters to stop the attack, The Post has reported. But another former Trump adviser disputed that Trump was angry with his daughter over the testimony. Before Jan. 6, Ivanka Trump broke with her father and siblings in avoiding baseless fraud allegations and attempts to overturn the election results. The clip made for one of the most dramatic moments in the first hearing, which drew a television audience of almost 19 million Americans. Committee sources viewed Ivanka Trump and Kushner as sometimes helpful and at times frustrating, according to multiple advisers — but particularly useful in understanding Trump’s psyche. “It affected my perspective,” Ivanka Trump said in the clip.
