CBSN
Jared Kushner, former President Trump's son-in-law and senior adviser in his White House, is expected to appear before the committee investigating the January 6th attack at the U.S. Capitol, multiple sources familiar with the matter tell CBS News.
Kushner was not physically at the White House on January 6, though he had significant influence within the administration. He was returning to Washington from a trip to Saudi Arabia, where he was working on negotiations between Gulf Arab leaders. He did not return to the White House that day.
The committee asked Kushner's wife, Ivanka Trump, to appear for testimony in a January letter that cited her presence with her father in the White House that day, as well as in the Oval Office during a phone conversation Mr. Trump had with Vice President Mike Pence that morning. As recently as late February, a spokesperson said she was in discussions with the committee to voluntarily appear for an interview.
