Washington: Former President Donald Trump, long known for distancing himself from or tossing aside staff members who contradicted him while he was in the White House, discovered a new target on Friday: his elder daughter. The morning after the House committee investigating the January 6, 2021 attack on the Capitol played recorded video testimony of his daughter Ivanka Trump at its prime-time public hearing, Trump used his social media website to separate himself from what she had said and to say she was “checked out” during the final days of his administration.
In the testimony, Ivanka Trump said she was influenced by a December 1, 2020 statement by William Barr, then the attorney general, that there was no widespread fraud that had altered the outcome of the polls. She testified that she respected Barr and “accepted what he was saying”.
“Ivanka Trump was not involved in looking at, or studying, election results,” Trump wrote on his social media website, Truth Social, in one of eight messages he posted there in response to the hearing. “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!). ”
Ivanka’s colleagues have recalled her being among those urging White House staff members on election night to “fight” even as it became clear that her father would most likely lose.
In another post, Trump described the committee as a “totally partisan, POLITICAL WITCH HUNT!”
