The House select committee investigating the January 6 riot is asking former President Donald rump's daughter and then-senior White House adviser Ivanka Trump to voluntary cooperate with its investigation, a major step for the panel closing in on the former President's inner circle.

The committee announced its plans in a statement following remarks from its chairman, Democratic Rep. Bennie Thompson of Mississippi, who cited Ivanka Trump in comments to reporters.

Wyoming Rep. Liz Cheney, the vice chair of the committee and one of its two Republican members, told ABC News last monththat the panel has "firsthand testimony" that during the attack, Ivanka Trump asked her father to intervene.
