The House select committee investigating the Jan. 6 Capitol riot is reportedly considering subpoenaing Ivanka Trump, daughter of former President Donald Trump, Insider reports, per The Guardian.
Investigators had last month requested the ex-first daughter's voluntary cooperation, though it appeared she turned them down after pointing out she did not speak at the rally that preceeded the violence that day. That said, however, the committee has said it has "firsthand testimony" that Ivanka Trump asked her father "at least twice" on Jan. 6 to end the chaos.
