Defeated former President Trump is appalled the January 6th Committee has summoned Ivanka Trump for an interview:
Very, very unfair. It's a disgrace, what's going on. They're using these things to try and get people's minds off how incompetently our country is being run. And they don't care. They'll go after children.
Never mind that Ivanka is over 40 and has children of her own. She worked in the Trump White House and could have direct knowledge of the events of January 6, 2021.
Of course, Trump is more than happy to go after other people's children namely those of Joe Biden. In October 2019, Trump demanded that Hunter Biden and his father be investigated by both China and Ukraine. Trump also invoked Hunter Biden's name during his first presidential debate with Biden in September 2020. At the time, I observed:
It was painful to watch Biden be put on the defensive and suffer as Trump demeaned Hunter. The political animal in me was telling Biden to say, "I'll take Hunter Biden and raise you Ivanka Trump's Chinese patents." But Biden said he didn't want to make the election about Trump's family, but about American families. As noble as Biden's intent is, Trump is going to keep talking about Hunter. It would do no harm to Biden should bring up Ivanka. If Biden doesn't want to be seen as attacking a woman then he has two "adult" sons from whom to choose.
True to form, Biden stuck to his guns and didn't mention Ivanka nor any of Trump's other children and he prevailed despite Trump's claims of fraud.
As usual, Trump's statements are contemptible, self-serving and wholly without merit.
