Re: Jan 6 Attack of the US Capital
Ivanka Trump, in her testimony, repeatedly told the committee that she could not recall or remember the answers to their questions about her actions and conversations on Jan. 6 -- including those with her father.
According to the transcripts, the phrase "don't recall," "don't remember," or "don't know" came up more than 300 times amongst her and investigators while she was being interviewed.
Committee members at times appeared skeptical about some of Ivanka's responses, including when she claimed she never discussed the events of Jan. 6 with her husband, Jared Kushner, as they returned home from the White House that night.
"You just lived through what is understandably very -- as you've explained, an experience that I think was incredibly traumatic," committee vice chair Liz Cheney pressed her at one point. "You'd been directly involved in that. It was exceedingly intense. And you haven't talked to your husband about it since?"
"Ivanka Trump was not as forthcoming as ... others about President Trump's conduct," the committee noted in its summary report released earlier in the week. "Indeed, Ivanka Trump's Chief of Staff Julie Radford had a more specific recollection of Ivanka Trump's actions and statements."
According to the testimony of former White House communications director Hope Hicks, days after the attack on the Capitol she was asked by Trump if Jan 6. was "as bad as everyone says it was?" Hicks told him yes, she testified.

Following Jan. 6, Hicks said she texted a colleague regarding Trump: "In one day he ended every future opportunity that doesn't include speaking engagements at the local Proud Boys chapter."
Other interviewees whose transcripts were released Friday include former attorney general Bill Barr, former White House counsel Pat Cipollone, former acting attorney general Jeffrey Rosen, Trump-backed attorney Sidney Powell, and Marc Short, who was chief of staff to Vice President Mike Pence.Comment

The January 6 committee investigating the attack on the Capitol may have issued its huge final report, but the wheels of the justice system in the US are grinding on and one of the most high-profile trials emerging from the insurrection is about to begin in earnest.
Jury selection began last week with the seditious conspiracy trial against ex-Proud Boys national chairman Enrique Tarrio and four others involved in the far-right, often violent militia group.Comment

Re: Jan 6 Attack of the US Capital
After Trump served one term and lost the Oval Office to Joe Biden in 2020, he pressured his vice-president Mike Pence to use his ceremonial role as president of the session where both the Senate and House of Representatives met to certify the outcome of the race and interfere with the counting of the electoral college votes.
Pence refused, as supporters of the defeated Trump stormed the Capitol and threatened to hang the vice-president on the day of that joint congressional session in early 2021. The unsuccessful attack was linked to nine deaths, including the suicides of traumatized law enforcement officers who ultimately restored order.Comment

Again, you bring nothing to this forum. You're just not bright enough to understand much. You should listen and not speak.
