WASHINGTON --
The White Home won't assert govt privilege for testimony by former U.S. President Donald Trump's daughter and son-in-law and former advisers, Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner, earlier than the Jan. 6 committee, communications director Kate Bedingfield mentioned on Tuesday.
Chatting with reporters on the White Home, Bedingfield mentioned U.S. President Joe Biden has been clear "the constitutional protections of govt privilege shouldn't be used to defend from Congress or the general public details about an assault on the Structure itself."
Jared Kushner is because of testify by distant videolink on Thursday to the Home of Representatives committee investigating the lethal assault on the U.S. Capitol, the committee's Democratic chairman, Bennie Thompson, instructed reporters on the Capitol.
Thompson mentioned he additionally anticipated the panel to talk to Ivanka Trump, though he couldn't say when that may happen.
