Three people familiar with the issue reported that Ivanka Trump, former President Donald Trump's daughter and one of those closest to him during the Capitol insurgency, is scheduled to speak before the committee on Tuesday, Jan. 6.

Ivanka Trump is set to appear digitally as the panel seeks to build a record of the attack, the worst on the Capitol in more than 200 years when supporters of the former president disrupted the Electoral College count and attempted to block the certification of Joe Biden's 2020 election.

She spent much of the day with her father, and the panel has spent much of its time focusing on Trump's activities in the White House as his supporters stormed the Capitol.

Ivanka's willingness to participate is crucial for the committee, which has been seeking an interview with her since late January. The panel has held over 800 interviews, but the one with the former president's daughter, a trusted aide, on Tuesday, is one of the most high-profile as the committee works to complete its job.

Her testimony, like that of others before the committee, will be kept confidential. This summer, public hearings are slated to begin. People who spoke about her interview were given anonymity to discuss it.

Lawmakers have said they want to know what Ivanka Trump knew about her father's efforts to pressure then-Vice President Mike Pence to reject the results, including a phone call she allegedly witnessed, as well as any concerns she may have heard from Pence's staff, members of Congress, and the White House counsel's office about those efforts.

Her attendance comes less than a week after her husband, Jared Kushner, appeared before the nine-member panel in a six-hour virtual meeting. Members of the committee said his testimony was useful and that they want to fill in the gaps with Ivanka Trump's assistance.

Earlier, Trump's kids have refused to testify in a corruption case against their father.

New York's top justice official has subpoenaed ex-President Donald Trump, his son Don Jr., and his daughter Ivanka in an investigation into the family business dealings, a court filing.

However, the US House committee sent a letter requesting testimony from Ivanka Trump, who served as a White House advisor to her father during his White House tenure. 

The committee publicly released a letter addressing Ivanka Trump and asking for "voluntary cooperation with our investigation."
