I bet they released Trump's recorded video on Jan. 6 because they didn't trust him to give a spontaneous statement.
https://www.cnn.com/2022/01/20/politics/ivanka-trump-january-6-committee/index.html
The panel has been zeroing in on why the decision was made for Trump to release a pre-recorded video instead of giving a live address. And it has been specifically trying to obtain the unreleased videos that he recorded prior to the final version released on January 6.
For the first time, the committee disclosed that it had information to suggest in the draft videos, Trump did not explicitly ask rioters to leave the Capitol.
Kellogg testified that he "very strongly recommended [they] do not" ask Trump to speak in front of members of the media "because press conferences tend to get out of control, and you want to control the message."
The committee also is asking Ivanka to clarify a discrepancy about whether her father actually intended to go to the Capitol on January 6.

Twitter Mocks Ivanka Trump For Being Shunned by World Leaders at G-20: 'Bring Your Stupid Daughter to Work Day'
Social media users took to Twitter on Sunday to mock first daughter Ivanka Trump after a viral video showed the senior White House adviser attempting and failing to insert herself into a conversation among world leaders at the Group of 20 (G-20 Summit) in Osaka, Japan over the weekend.
The brief video clip, released by the French government, shows Ivanka being shunned while attempting to join a conversation between British Prime Minister Theresa May, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, French President Emmanuel Macron and International Monetary Fund leader Christine Lagarde.
During the group's discussion on "social justice," May can be heard saying "as soon as you begin talking about the economic aspect of it, though, a lot of people start listening who otherwise wouldn't listen." This comment prompts Ivanka to say "yeah." She then begins interjecting about "defense" as Lagarde, who was standing beside Trump, can be seen rolling her eyes before turning back to the world leaders to continue their discussion.
Many users questioned why Ivanka was at the G-20 Summit in the first place.

Every damn one of those pics is a sick advertisement of his perversion and his grooming of someone no more than 12 years old.

(24,365 posts)Inappropriate situations, often contrary to long established protocols.
Their visit to England for instance. If it wasnt for certain quick acting officials, Jarvanka just assumed they would be meeting the Queen, and went so far as to get dressed and head for a car on the day Trumpy met her, thinking they were the American version of a Royal Family so of course we get to meet the Queen!
The famous video of her inserting herself at the G20, into a conversation with IMF Director Christine Lagard, Theresa May, Macron and Justin Trudeau, with Lagard seeming somewhat less than impressed. And on and on.
What an embarrassment she and her whole damned family is.

(21,624 posts)But in fairness, Madame Lagarde is no Eleanor Roosevelt either.
Her tenure at the IMF alone was downright Trumpian in its sheer scale of mismanagement.

(82,849 posts)Well, this is part of what that means. Or didn't Daddy tell you about that? You may not have been drawing a paycheck to get around the U.S. Code prohibiting nepotism, but your boss was the American people. And now we want an accounting of your actions.
