By Brad Dress - 01/22/22 09:05 PM EST

“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, .................................

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 father’s insane estimation, for creating 14 million jobs.

and the many duties that entailed should shield her from being deposed in her shoe company copyright enfringement lawsuit.

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 Trump’s 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 Trump’s brand reportedly refused to comply, Aquazurra filed a complaint in Manhattan federal court, accusing Trump’s 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 Trump’s role as a “high ranking government official” should excuse her from having to submit a deposition, according to Bloomberg."...(more)

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.

Just as Jared Kushner, her husband, was the most trusted foreign adviser.

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?
