Trump Family Member Testifies Before J6 Committee
With the 2022 midterms looming, there is little doubt that the congressional committee investigating the events of January 6th, 2021 are feeling the pressure to wrap up their probe. That election is widely believed to be swinging hard in favor of the Republican Party, who would swiftly shut down the entire investigation as soon as they got the chance.
And so, in a frantic scramble to at least salvage some political dirt out of this whole thing, it looks like the committee is aiming a little closer to Donald Trump with every shot.
Jared Kushner will appear virtually before the House Jan. 6 committee in a private hearing Thursday after the White House announced it would not assert executive privilege over Kushner’s testimony.

And that’s not the end of it…not by a long shot.
The committee is also expected to request testimony from Ivanka Trump. White House communications director Kate Bedingfield confirmed to reporters Tuesday that the White House has declined to limit Ivanka Trump and Kushner’s testimony.
The move will almost certainly irk Donald Trump, as targeting his family members has long been seen as a red line for the former Commander in Chief.
