Former President Donald Trump doesn't seem very happy the House select committee investigating the Capitol riot spoke with his daughter (and former White House adviser) Ivanka Trump this week.
In a discussion with The Washington Post, Trump said the panel's interview with Ivanka was a "shame and harassment," but insisted he was unaware of the specifics of what was discussed. He said he also did not know what his daughter's husband (and another former White House adviser) Jared Kushner told the committee in his six-hour interview, per the Post.
