Ivanka Trump Encourages Father to Condemn Capitol Riots

During the attack on the United States Capitol on 06/01/2021, Ivanka Trump made multiple attempts to persuade President Donald Trump to intervene and call for an end to the violence, according to testimony and evidence presented to the House Select Committee investigating the ঘটন. At the time, she was serving as a senior advisor in the White House and was present in the West Wing as events unfolded. Testimony presented by the committee indicated that Ivanka Trump entered the dining room adjacent to the Oval Office at least twice that afternoon to directly appeal to her father to take action. She urged him to publicly call on supporters to disperse and to issue a clear condemnation of the हिंसा at the Capitol. These efforts were part of broader internal discussions among senior aides who were increasingly concerned about the escalating situation. Ivanka Trump also worked alongside other White House officials, including White House Counsel Pat Cipollone, who advocated for a stronger and more immediate response from the President. According to testimony from her chief of staff, Julie Radford, aides believed Ivanka Trump might be able to help calm the President following a tense phone call earlier that day with Vice President Mike Pence, during which Pence resisted pressure related to the certification of electoral votes. At approximately 3:15 p.m., while the attack was ongoing, Ivanka Trump posted a message on social media calling for an end to the violence. The post stated that “any security breach or disrespect to our law enforcement is unacceptable. The violence must stop immediately. Please be peaceful.” The message initially referred to the rioters as “American Patriots,” a phrase that drew criticism and was later removed when the post was deleted and revised. Witness accounts presented to the committee described Ivanka Trump as visibly distressed during the afternoon. Retired General Keith Kellogg and other officials noted that she appeared shaken by the situation and by her inability to secure a more forceful and immediate response. The committee’s findings also indicated that at one point she stepped away to her husband Jared Kushner’s office to regroup after what was described as a difficult conversation with the President. #IvankaTrump #January6 #CapitolAttack #USPolitics #WhiteHouse
