Ivanka Trump, former president Donald Trump’s daughter and one of those closest to him during the insurrection at the Capitol, is giving evidence before the US House of Representatives panel investigating the January 6 2021 attack.

Mississippi Representative Bennie Thompson, the committee’s chairman, said on Tuesday afternoon that she had been answering investigators’ questions on a video teleconference since the morning and was not “chatty” but had been helpful to the probe.
