Ivanka Trump tells a congressional panel she does not believe her dad's false claims that his 2020 election loss resulted from fraud.

Also shown testifying was Ivanka husband, Jared Kushner, another of the former president’s top aides. The Jan. 6, 2021, riot followed shortly after Trump gave an incendiary speech to thousands of supporters outside the White House, repeating his false claims of a stolen 2020 election and urging them to march on the Capitol and “fight like hell.” And what Barr was saying, Ivanka testified, was that his Justice Department had discovered no significant fraud to support President Trump’s claim – one the former president is still making – that massive voter fraud in several key states caused the 2020 election to be “stolen” from him.

'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'

The 2020 Presidential Election was Rigged and Stolen…And look at our Country now - not pretty!!!” Mr Trump posted on Truth Social, repeating his false claims of election fraud. I observed, I think it was December 1, you know, he can’t live in a world where the incumbent administration stays in power based on its view, unsupported by specific evidence that there was fraud in the election,” he added. “I had three discussions with the president that I can recall,” Mr Barr told the committee. It worked for him, but not for our Country!” Mr Trump added. “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!).” “I respect Attorney General Barr so I accepted what he said.”

'Checked out': Trump rebukes Ivanka over Jan. 6 testimony (Politico)

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 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.

Everything Donald Trump Has Said About Ivanka Trump's Testimony (Newsweek)

The former president previously said he did not know what Ivanka told the January 6 committee but called her being asked to testify a "shame and harassment.

"[Ivanka] came in on her own, that has obviously significant value. The clip of Ivanka was the first from the House Jan. 6 Committee, which is presenting its findings from a nearly yearlong investigation over six hearings this summer. Asked if she believed former Attorney General William Barr's remarks concluding that there was no widespread fraud in the 2020 election, Ivanka said: "It affected my perspective.

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.”

Trump: Ignore Ivanka, She'd Already 'Checked Out' on My Lies (New York Magazine)

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.

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.

Ivanka Trump's Jan. 6 testimony exposes family strain (The Washington Post)

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.

Ivanka turns on daddy but she's just a Trump looking out for No 1 as ... (The Guardian)

The ex-White House adviser told the January 6 panel she didn't believe her father's election fraud claim – get ready for the Javanka rehabilitation tour!

A guy called Robert Brantley was driving along the road in Louisiana on Tuesday when he stopped to rescue a stray kitten. Ivanka and Jared could have chosen to publicly denounce Trump’s claims about the election being stolen in the immediate aftermath of the election. Expect to see a growing amount of favourable coverage about the pair; expect to see stories peppered with anonymous quotes about how Javanka spent the Trump presidency trying to do the right thing; how they desperately tried to stop the former president from disseminating the big lie. And, as ex-Trump official Stephanie Grisham said about Ivanka on CNN: “If she was truly that impacted by Bill Barr ... perhaps she could’ve done a little bit more and not stood by [Trump’s] side while he publicly pushed the Big Lie.” Indeed. Remember, ladies, never leave the house without a male chaperone otherwise you’re asking for bad things to happen. If Ivanka really had accepted Barr’s statements about the election being stolen why did she tweet about “American Patriots” when the Capitol was being stormed? In recent months Trump seems to have lost his kingmaker status and his grip on the GOP: a number of candidates he’s endorsed have been soundly defeated in their races. Now that it seems unlikely Trump is going to be able to make any sort of political comeback, now that he is no longer of much use to Jared and Ivanka, expect the Great Javanka Rehabilitation tour of 2022 to come to a media outlet near you very soon. On Friday the former president logged on to Truth Social, his disaster of a social media platform, and published a number of posts railing against Bill Barr. He also had some choice words about his daughter. “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!)” The writing has been on the wall for a while now, but it seems Ivanka Trump finally did it: she turned against her daddy. In a video deposition that was shown during the first hearing of the panel, Ivanka states that she accepted the explanations of the then attorney general, Bill Barr, to Donald Trump that there wasn’t any evidence of voter fraud, and he’d lost the election fair and square.
