Jared Kushner could break his silence on the events surrounding the storming of the US Capitol on January 6, 2021 and Donald Trump's role in it.
Washington, DC - More than a year after the storming of the US Capitol, the events are still being resolved.
Donald Trump's* son-in-law Jared Kushner* is scheduled to appear before the House Committee on Thursday (3/31/2022).
This is reported by CBS News and refers to trusted sources.
Kushner himself was not at the White House on January 6, 2021.
He had returned from a trip to Washington, DC shortly before the escalation.
His wife, Ivanka Trump*, was also asked by the committee to testify about the events.
Unlike Kushner, Trump was in the White House with her father.
Donald Trump's daughter Ivanka had indicated that she wanted to cooperate * and testify voluntarily.

Storming the US Capitol: In addition to Kushner, other Trump allies are also targeted by the committee
Requests from CBS News to spokespersons for the committee and Jared Kushner came to nothing.
No comment was given.
How involved Kushner was in the January 6 events and what role he assigns to his father-in-law is expected to be part of the committee's questioning.
One of the things that has distinguished Kushner so far is that he did not loudly support Trump in his statements about election fraud in 2020.
In all, the committee issued more than 90 subpoenas.
In addition to allies of the 45th President of the USA*, former White House officials, campaign workers and people involved in planning the rally in front of the White House were also affected.
The rally later degenerated into the storming of the US Capitol – Trump, among others, tried to downplay the situation.*
Background to the storming of the US Capitol after the 2020 presidential election
Barely two months after Trump's election defeat, his supporters stormed the seat of Congress in Washington on January 6, 2021, after the Republican delivered an inciting speech.
They wanted to prevent the confirmation of Democrat Joe Biden*'s victory.
The attack killed five people and injured dozens.
The attack on the heart of US democracy shook the country.
Trump claims to this day that he was deprived of victory by electoral fraud.
His camp has failed with dozens of lawsuits against the election results.
