The committee previously revealed it was learning more about Ivanka Trump's interactions with her father, Donald Trump, on the day of the riots at the U.S. Capitol.
Wyoming Rep. Liz Cheney said the committee had "first-hand testimony" that Ivanka Trump asked her father to intervene during the unrest.
