It House panel investigating the Jan. 6 Capitol riot has testimony that then-President Donald Trump’s daughter Ivanka Trump asked him to intervene as his supporters ransacked the home of Congress, Rep. Liz Cheney, R-Wyo., said Sunday.

Firsthand evidence has shown that the attacker was seen in the Oval Office’s dining room as he watched. Cheney, the vice-chair of the committee said that only “the White House briefing rooms are a few steps from Oval Office.”

Elle stated that Trump could walk to the media briefing room at any time and appear on TV.

“We are aware of [Trump]As he was sat down in the dining area, near the Oval Office’s, his staff pleaded with him to turn on the television and tell everyone to stop. We’re sure. [Republican] Leader [Kevin]McCarthy was imploring him to make that happen. We know his daughter — we have firsthand testimony — that his daughter Ivanka went in at least twice to ask him to please stop this violence.”

Trump made false claims regarding the election that he had lost and encouraged the rioters to attack the Capitol as a way of disrupting the official electoral vote counting. This video was posted on social media within minutes. Joe Biden’s win before a joint session of Congress, to “go home in peace.”

“Go home. We love you. Trump stated, You are very special.”

After the video was shared, he later tweeted, “These are the things and events that happen when a sacred landslide election victory is so unceremoniously & viciously stripped away from great patriots who have been badly & unfairly treated for so long.”

Twitter took swift action against the messages. permanently suspended Trump in the days after the riotIrene, inciting further violence.

Thompson stated on NBC News’ Meet the Press that the panel believed Trump had made several videos before releasing the clip. It also said that the National Archives has been contacted to inquire about the alleged videos, which were not shared.

He said, “It takes about 187 mins,” in an interview that was broadcast Sunday. This is in reference to how long it took Trump to call his supporters for help to flee the Capitol in the aftermath of the attack.

Requests for comment were not answered by representatives of Ivanka Trump and former President Donald Trump.

In the months since Jan. 6, the committee has been intensifying its inquiry into the riot as well any Trump-related actions and inactions. Last month, the House approved referring Mark Meadows, former chief of staff to the Justice Department to face criminal charges for refusing to answer questions from the committee.

Representatives Jim Jordan, R.Ohio. and Scott Perry. R.Pa. were asked to share information by the panel. But, Rep. Bennie Thompson (D-Miss.) stated Sunday that while the panel may be able to subpoena legislators, it is still uncertain.

Thompson appears on Sunday’s programs discussing the congressional investigation into Jan. 6, the tragic event, and the pro-Trump rally. He encouraged the crowd to march towards the Capitol where Congress was completing the formalization of President Joe Biden’s win.

Thompson stated that the panel had evidence showing interactions between House Members and rioters Jan. 6. This may or might not be indicative of significant events. Thompson didn’t specify the names of those members.

On “Meet the Press”, he stated that “now, ‘assisted” means different things.” Some took photos with those who attended the “Stop the Steal” rally. Some allowed them to visit their offices during the rally week and allow them to associate with them. It’s a mixed bag.

Thompson stated that the panel plans to suggest new legislation in order to make America better. intelligence gatheringIf adopted, it will hopefully ensure that “this won’t, ever happen again.”

It was obvious that nothing had been planned. It was, however, the best-kept American secret that people were entering Washington. The potential for coordination was evident. Thompson spoke on ABC News’ This Week.

 Senate report released in June, which was the result of a joint investigation by the Homeland Security and Rules committees, summed up what it says were profound intelligence and security failures that contributed to one of the worst incidents of domestic terrorism in U.S. history.

According to the report, a major contributing factor in the Jan. 6 events was the inability of the intelligence community “properly analyse, assess and disseminate data to law enforcement” about the possible violence and known threats to Capitol.

One unidentified Capitol police officer is quoted in the report as saying that “We weren’t prepared.” The intelligence was not provided to us. We were betrayed.”

Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.), chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, stated that the Jan. 6th riot was “in part an intelligence failure that was the failure to view all the evidence that could be seen about the propensity to violence that day,” as reported by CBS News’ Face the Nation.

Thompson said that the Jan. 6th committee would also consider legislation to increase coordination of resources in order to protect Capitol.

There were inconsistencies with coordination. He said that the National Guard of the District of Columbia took too long to respond. It was not an isolated incident, but the matter had to be referred to the Department of Defense. We want to ensure that communication is open between Capitol police officers and how decisions are made. It’s a mixed authority at the moment, and it clearly failed.”
