In a pre-recorded video interview broadcast at the January 6 Committee's primetime hearing on Thursday, June 9, Ivanka Trump agreed with former Attorney General William Barr's assessment that there was no major fraud in the 2020 election. Barr stated during his opening statements that he had told then-President Donald Trump that he didn't agree with his statements that he had been unfairly defeated in the election. "I made it plain that I did not agree with the premise of claiming the election was rigged and disseminating this information," he stated.'You Were My Guy,' says Jack Wagner's son's girlfriend, who is 'brokenhearted' by his death.

Barr later remarked in a clip that he wasn't convinced there was voting fraud that cost Trump the victory. "I told the President unequivocally that I did not detect any proof of electoral fraud that would have influenced the vote." "And honestly, a year and a half later, I haven't seen anything to convince me otherwise," he remarked.
Ivanka added that words from Barr "influenced [her] perspective" on the election in a short video aired at the start. "I hold Attorney General Barr in high regard. In the video, she says, "I accepted what he was saying." Barr also mentioned a conspiracy involving Dominion Voting Machines, claiming that there was "zero substance for the charges."
The committee is made up of nine House of Representatives members, the majority of whom are Democrats. Mississippi Congressman Bennie Thompson serves as the committee's chairman. California's Zoe Lofgren, Virginia's Elaine Luria, California's Adam Schiff, California's Pete Aguilar, Florida's Stephanie Murphy, and California's Jamie Raskin make up the Democratic majority (Maryland). Liz Cheney (Wyoming) and Adam Kinzinger (Illinois) are the only Republicans on the committee, both of whom have been vocal critics of former President Donald Trump (Illinois). Cheney serves as the committee's vice-chair.
The committee's second public event was held during a primetime hearing. The first hearing took place in July 2021, when law enforcement officers on the ground testified about their experiences fighting back rioters who had invaded the Capitol building.
The Select Committee was constituted around six months after the Capitol attack, which claimed the lives of five persons. The Department of Homeland Security released a National Terrorism Advisory System Bulletin in response to the attack, according to the committee's "About" website.
The select committee had requested information from a variety of members of Congress in regard to the attack ahead of the primetime hearings. On May 12, five members of Congress (Reps. Kevin McCarthy, Scott Perry, Jim Jordan, Andy Biggs, and Mo Brooks) were summoned to give depositions. Thompson stated in a statement that they were asked to provide information voluntarily. "Unfortunately, the people who were served with subpoenas today refused, so we're compelled to take this action to guarantee the committee gets the truth about January 6th." "We ask our colleagues to follow the law, do their patriotic duty, and help with our inquiry in the same way that hundreds of other witnesses have," he said.
