Was Ivanka Trump “entirely frank” and “forthcoming” in her testimony? The January 6 panel says no. But she did provide some useful information — and she gave the hearings some star power. _NYMarg writes
The committee noted that not “all witnesses were entirely frank or forthcoming,” and some Trump White House figures “displayed a lack of full recollection of certain issues …” It offered two examples: Kayleigh McEnany, who was White House press secretary on January 6, 2021, and the president’s daughter and senior adviser. “Ivanka Trump was not as forthcoming as [White House counsel Pat] Cipollone and others about President Trump’s conduct,” the report’s summary states.
The second clip shows it came, at least in part, from Radford’s testimony describing a conversation she had with Ivanka: Committee staff: And the word that she relayed to you that the president called the vice-president — apologize for being impolite — but do you remember what she said her father called him?It’s certainly appropriate for the January 6 panel to call Ivanka out for giving what appeared to be evasive answers while testifying under oath. And perhaps in a better world, we’d all be appalled by her apparent shiftiness. But the committee probably got all it could have hoped for out of Ivanka’s testimony.
