Donald Trump Jr. on Tuesday voluntarily spoke with the House select committee investigating the Jan. 6 Capitol attack, people familiar with the matter told CNN and The Associated Press.
While his sister Ivanka Trump and brother-in-law Jared Kushner served as senior advisers to former President Donald Trump, Trump Jr. was a campaign surrogate for his father, hitting the road to speak at events and rallies. He also pushed the false claim that there was widespread election fraud during the 2020 presidential election, and on Jan. 6, was backstage with his father at the "Stop the Steal" rally that took place before the Capitol riot.
