January 6 panel has conducted more than 860 interviews, with dozens more planned

CNN  

CNN — The House select committee investigating the January 6, 2021, Capitol Hill insurrection has conducted more than 860 depositions and interviews, with dozens more scheduled in the coming weeks, a committee aide told CNN on Tuesday. While a handful of close aides to former President Donald Trump refused to comply with the committee’s subpoena requests, hundreds of other witnesses have cooperated, either voluntarily or under legal order. Ivanka Trump, the former President’s daughter and a former White House senior adviser, met with the committee for close to eight hours last week, two sources familiar with the interview previously told CNN. The committee has heard testimony from other White House officials who recounted Ivanka Trump being in the room during a phone call her father had with then-Vice President Mike Pence. The committee also continues to receive new documents, including specific emails from John Eastman – the lawyer who masterminded Trump’s apparent strategy to overturn the election.
