• The House select committee on January 6 showed a recording of Ivanka Trump's testimony.
  • She was asked how former Attorney General Bill Barr's statement that her father's election claims were wrong affected her perspective.
  • "I accepted what he was saying," she said.

Ivanka Trump told House select committee investigators that she "accepted" former Attorney General Bill Barr's perspective that her father's claims about election fraud were wrong.

The daughter of former President Donald Trump in April voluntarily testified for eight hours before the committee, which is holding its first of several public hearings on its investigation into the January 6 attack on the US Capitol by Trump supporters.

She was asked how Barr's statement that her father's election claims were wrong affected her perspective.

"It affected my perspective," Ivanka Trump told the committee in recorded testimony, aired for the first time on Thursday. "I respect Attorney General Barr. So I accepted what he was saying."

The committee also played recordings of testimony by Barr, who said he told Donald Trump that he didn't find evidence of fraud that could overturn the election.

He also told Trump that he saw "zero basis" for his allegations about conspiracy theories about voting machines being compromised.
