Donald Trump slams Jan. 6 panel after Ivanka Trump interview request: 'They'll go after children'
By Brad Dress - 01/22/22 09:05 PM EST
Former President Donald Trump slammed the Jan. 6 committee investigating the Capitol insurrection after it asking his daughter Ivanka Trump to sit for an interview.
It's a very unfair situation for my children. Very, very unfair, Donald Trump told The Washington Examiner in an interview for an op-ed published Friday.
It's a disgrace, what's going on. They're using these things to try and get people's minds off how incompetently our country is being run. And they don't care. They'll go after children, Donald Trump said.
The House select committee investigating the Jan. 6 events on Thursday requested that Ivanka Trump speak to lawmakers, ..........................................
The committee has also subpoenaed and obtained phone records associated with Donald Trump's son, Eric Trump, and Kimberly Guilfoyle, .................................

(32,457 posts)Of course they need to hear from Ivanka; she was in the room where it happened.
As advisor to the president and head of the White House Office of Economic Initiatives and Entrepreneurship, Ivanka was the Zelig of the Trump administration. She was everywhere, popping into view for photo ops with world leaders, ducking out of sight when the heat was on and ludicrously taking credit, by her fathers insane estimation, for creating 14 million jobs.

https://archive.thinkprogress.org/ivanka-trump-hides-behind-her-white-house-job-to-avoid-a-copyright-lawsuit-7c2657057319/
"Ivanka Trump and her clothing brand are entangled in an intellectual property battle in which she wants no part. Fashion designer Edgardo Osorio, co-founder and creative director of fashion brand Aquazzura, has taken legal action against Trump for allegedly copying the design of his iconic Wild Thing sandal that catapulted his brand to international success.
Instead of facing the lawsuit, however, Trump has shielded herself behind her official White House title.
.....
The Ivanka Trump brand reportedly ignored a subsequent cease-and-desist letter issued by Aquazzura requiring Trumps label to destroy existing pairs of the shoe in question, in addition to halting any advertising for it, and to hand over any profits earned from its sale. When Trumps brand reportedly refused to comply, Aquazurra filed a complaint in Manhattan federal court, accusing Trumps brand of infringement, deceptive trade practices, and unfair competition.
...
Although the dispute is being settled outside of the courtroom, this still poses a problem for Trump, who appears eager to sidestep the controversy in any way possible including by hiding behind her duties in the White House. If it goes to court which is set to occur in March next year, should the two parties find themselves unable to reach a settlement things could get even worse for the first daughter.
The burden of a deposition of Ms. Trump would far outweigh any likely benefit to Aquazzura, company lawyer Darren Saunders argued in a letter to U.S. District Judge Katherine Forrest. Saunders added that Trumps role as a high ranking government official should excuse her from having to submit a deposition, according to Bloomberg."...(more)

(2,357 posts)Any true businessman would've known that having his family members directing aspects of the most powerful country in the world means they're culpable when Congress investigates wrongdoing. Unfortunately for them, the USA is not the shady family business. And the "kids" are just as accountable as big daddy.

They were not children.
Their salaries were paid by the American people.
They should have to answer to the American people, just as the former, defeated, disgraced president should have to answer to the people.
Maybe it's time to sit them down and explain the rules to them?
