We always knew it was only a matter of time before Ivanka Trump flipped on her father to save herself, and it appears that day might finally be upon us. The former first daughter is currently testifying before the January 6 committee, according to three people familiar with the situation.
Related: Is Ivanka Trump preparing to flip on her dad? Sorta kinda looks like it…
Ivanka, who was with her dad most of the day on January 6, is speaking to the committee virtually, one week after her husband, Jared Kushner, gave more than six hours of his own testimony. And nobody knew this was even happening today until about an hour ago.
The AP reports:
How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
Ivanka Trump is one of more than 800 witnesses the committee has interviewed as it works to compile a record of the attack, the worst on the Capitol in more than two centuries. She’s the first of Trump’s children known to speak to the committee and one of the closest people to her father.
Her decision to cooperate is significant for the committee, which has been trying to secure an interview with her since late January. It comes less than a week after her husband, Jared Kushner, testified to the nine-member panel in a virtual meeting that lasted more than six hours. Members of the committee said his testimony was helpful and are hoping to further fill in the gaps with her help.
In January, Mary Trump went on MSNBC to predict Ivanka would eventually flip on her own father and was likely making a “calculation” as to what will “help her in the long run.”
“She knows she has to come down on the right side of things. Or, she’ll continue to stay her father’s ally, and have to see how that plays out,” Mary said. “She’s in a very bad situation because she must understand that if Donald feels it’s necessary, he will stop protecting her.”
“Donald will throw anybody under the bus if he believes it’s in his best interest to do so. If he believes it’ll help play out the clock, if he believes that it will help him avoid accountability, that’s all he cares about.”
Here’s what people are saying on Twitter today…
It’s cool that Ivanka Trump is testifying in front of the Jan. 6 committee, but I’d rather see her being forcefully escorted from her residence in hand & ankle cuffs in the middle of the night.

Ivanka Trump Tweeted to her Daddy's band of insurrectionist and murderers that they were "patriots" on January 6th. A Tweet that was later deleted. Never forget this.

I feel sorry for the January 6th Committee, having to listen to Ivanka take the Fifth over and over today in that fake whisper-porn voice of hers.

Ivanka Trump is testifying before the January 6th Committee today.
In other breaking news, her father just issued a statement saying, in part, “I never met her, but if I did, I would totally date her.”

I doubt if she will flip. She is cold-hearted calculating bitch. I watched her on The Apprentice with her fake pout. She still believe that daddy will make a comeback in 2024. Hubby is the problem. With his daddy that has experienced jail life, junior will do whatever to avoid being a fellow prisoner’s bitch.
Creamsicle
Yeah… queerty has been speculating on this for about a year now. If she was going to flip, she’d have flipped by now.

When are you going to start reporting on Hunter’s laptop?
Spare me the ‘deflection’ rebuttals. The point is to balance the news.
It’s pretty awesome knowing that Hunter is part of a federal investigation. And just yesterday the grand jury is starting to unravel the ‘10% for the big guy…’
President Biden already throwing his son and brother under the bus.
Hunter Biden won’t like the interview his father’s chief of staff Ron Klain did with ABC’s George Stephanopoulos on Sunday.
Asked about the Delaware investigation into the president’s son’s business affairs, Klain threw Hunter and his uncle Jim Biden under the bus.
“The president is confident that his family did the right thing. But, again, I want to just be really clear, these are actions by Hunter and his brother. They’re private matters. They don’t involve the president. And they certainly are something that no one at the White House is involved in.”
Bosch
Was Hunter Biden working in the White House? Did Hunter Biden’s father try to sabotage the elections?
Maybe that’s why.
GaysForTrump
No Hunter wasn’t working in the White House.
However he took Air Force for his ‘private business dealings’ in China.
And his business contacts are from a ‘pay to play’ scheme stemming from his father’s time in the White House.
Mack
But you have no problems with Ivanka getting 1000’s of patents while traveling to China for daddy? Or that Ivanka and Jared made BILLIONS while working in the White House. Shows you’re just a Trump ho.
GaysForTrump
Mack,
Where in my post did I say I have no problem with that? What I said was to balance the scales on media press.
If anything, it’s you that has issue calling out Biden’s son’s wrong doings and flipping the script to Trump. You’re nothing but a Biden ho. Great choice of words. A level above trash.
PubicHairus
Admit it. You want that laptop so you can see if he has dick pics. You know he’s better looking than Don Jr. or, god forgive, Eric. Would you sniff his farts?
martyvl
Sweetie.
Your commitment towards ignorance is remarkable.
woodroad34
This post isn’t about Hunter Biden…so the real deflection is with you with your ‘strawman’ and ‘tu quoque’ logical fallacies. There has been reportage about Hunter on a lot of platforms, both liberal and far right. You could possibly go there to complain and let Queerty editorialize as they wish. No, that’s not what you want to do; is it? This is really about promoting an agenda for you; right?
Creamsicle
Queerty isn’t actually a news blog. It’s mostly a queer gossip blog. Half the posts are either Twitter recaps (like this post is) or reddit recaps. Both of which are kind of pointless, because people can just click the respective links and see it all for themselves. But it’s easy to use an automated script to churn out this kind of content.
If you’re looking for substantive right-leaning political journalism, you should really go elsewhere.

GaysForTrump
Invader7,
Okay. If that makes you sleep better. Go ahead and make that claim.
Life in the US, and around the world, was far better and safer when President Trump was in office.
Keep in mind Trump was the only recent president to not have started a war.
Gas prices were at record lows, secure boarder, no war in Ukraine, no food shortages in grocery stores, inflation under control, interest rates under control. But that all changed under Biden’s leadership.
What exactly is Biden doing to make life better for Americans? Let’s hear this answer…no mean tweets?
Bosch
“Keep in mind Trump was the only recent president to not have started a war.”
Where were you when Trump repeatedly tried to start a war with Iran, so the House had to make new laws to prevent this?
And trump riding the coattails of Obama’s economic policies is hardly a brag.
Need we remind you that Trump only got along with Putin, Bolsonaro, Erdogan, Kim Jong-Un… What do those fine fellas have in common, hm?
Bosch
“Life in the US, and around the world, was far better and safer when President Trump was in office. ”
Trump signed a peace treaty with the Taliban and pulled American troops out of Afghanistan, for his buddy Putin. This freed up Russia’s military resources to prepare for an attack on Ukraine.
That’s how Trump made the world safer?
Kangol2
GaysforDontheCon,
Do you really believe the propaganda you just sprayed on here?
Life in the US, and around the world, was far better and safer when President Trump was in office.
Are you insane? Crime surged in 2020 under Don the Con, but had been rising even before that, in 2019. The US economy imploded, thanks to Don the Con and we are only now recovering in the US. The globe was hardly “safer.” Did you forget the various crises in Syria, Lebanon, Yemen (which the US was involved in), northern-western Africa (again, US was involved), Somalia, Mexico, Central America, etc.? That under Don the Con North Korea gained even MORE nuclear weapons?
Keep in mind Trump was the only recent president to not have started a war.
Barack Obama did not start a war. Did you conveniently forget that?
Gas prices were at record lows, secure boarder, no war in Ukraine, no food shortages in grocery stores, inflation under control, interest rates under control. But that all changed under Biden’s leadership.
Uh, gas prices began to fall under Barack Obama. We did not have a secure border under Don the Con, and had surges of refugees and immigrants every year he was in office, including his final one. Inflation is global, not just confined to the US, but it also is a result of the low interests maintained by Don the Con’s Fed Chief (whom Biden should have dumped) along with the swift return to economic growth and a constrained supply chain because of Covid-19. Do you even know how inflation works?
Under Biden the US saw growth in ONE YEAR that exceeds that of any president of the last 40+ years and it has continued, even with inflationary pressures, ongoing supply chain crises, the Russia war on Ukraine, etc. There are over 11 million open US jobs right now, and unemployment is at 3.6%. I know the GQP erases all of this, but it’s the facts.
What exactly is Biden doing to make life better for Americans? Let’s hear this answer…no mean tweets?
Let’s see, after taking over for a failed presidency, he gave Americans and the US economy a massive economic boost in 2021. He passed a $1.9 million Covid relief bill, and despite the ongoing nature of this horrific pandemic, he has helped bring the country back from the brink in terms of fully opening up the society. He also passed a long sought after infrastructure bill, which will ensure millions of jobs going forward into the new decade and invaluable improvement to US infrastructure. He has continued to grow the economy and once inflation pressures slow, more people will have more more and more jobs. He also has any number of domestic policy achievements (ranging from signing pension relief, keeping more than 100 pension plans solvent and providing retirement benefits to millions, requiring multiple US agencies to create policies to increase the supply of affordable of housing, to releasing 50 million barrels from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve to help lower gas prices, etc.)
He inherited a country in freefall, including an attempted coup by a traitor Don the Con. A shattered economy, a shuttered and badly divided society, a rampant pandemic, frayed relations with the US’s allies, active promotion of Russia’s foreign policy, etc. And this doesn’t even graze the endless corruption of Don the Con, who had numerous associates convicted of federal crimes, including his former campaign manager, his former personal lawyer, etc.

GaysForTrump, your “life in the US and around the world was far better and safer when Trump was in office” post sounds nice. But, that is superficial and naïve thinking. Dig a little deeper and you’ll see that he gave businesses free reign to pollute the air, land, water…he took away clean water act protections. To oversee that these programs were dismantled, he hired Scott Pruit, a real nut job. It will take decades to undo what Trump did to our environment in less than 4 years. That’s just one item that impacts Americans, Trump bashed NATO, if he was President right now, he’d look the other way when it comes to Ukraine. He would never have stood united with other European countries like Biden is doing. Thank the good Lord we don’t have Trump in office right now. And GaysForTrump, I could go on and on about all the dismantling of important programs Trump did while in office, ethics were gone, science recommendations written by scientists were changed/deleted by Trumps lawyers. If we would have stayed on the Trump path…in a few more years we’d have a mess on our hands. Gas needs to be higher, we have to move away from fossil fuels. I don’t experience food shortages, time to shop local anyway, inflation is hitting us hard, but our interest rates have been too low for too long, that was bound to happen eventually. Under Biden, Americans have lots of good jobs AND higher pay. Trump would never have supported a living wage. Dig deeper GaysForTrump….

@GayForTrump, there, I corrected the typo for you. I am not going to engage nor debate with you re your absurd claims about Dumph.
What I find fascinating is that all the trolls i.e. Fake Tits M*ntalMarcy, SamB et al, suddenly disappears and who replaces them? GayForTrump. Just go away with your weak and silly statements.

You people are morons, you literally know nothing about what’s happening in the world. Every political opinion you lot hold is fed to you by the fanny who runs this site. (fanny means a lady’s front bits in the UK BTW). I come here every couple of days to laugh at you all flinging crap at each other like excited chimpanzees. The arguments you people get into about nothing important, I don’t know where to start.
Donald Trump is not going to prison, he’s horrible but he’s not the antichrist. Deal with it. Joe Biden is not the saviour of the universe, he’s a senile old man. Deal with it.
No doubt the basement dwelling psycho will turn up and say I’m the same person with 400 usernames and my troll game is sad and weak etc. You people should grow up but it’s funny to watch.

I always find it funny when Brits talk to Americans like we are children. The pomposity if rich. Biden is not senile. Trump may yet go to prison, although it is unclear. And, yes, Trump is that evil.

@Stu “Every political opinion you lot hold is fed to you by the fanny who runs this site.”
Mainstream media, predominantly controlled by Leftists, does a fair share of nonsense spreading as well. Queerty is just one of many spawned from the larger bs ‘news’ outlets.
Also, if you come to the US, never ever use the word ‘fanny,’ regardless of what it means. Just please don’t. Honestly British slang makes ‘ghetto talk’ sound appealing.

@Stu___, your little rant wasn’t even cute, girl, so don’t try us.
You do realize that your rump country, having severed itself from the EU, is in trouble. Your prime minister is a buffoon who is lucky his chief opposition, led by Keir Starmer, is so incompetent and unpopular, though given how badly the Tory party has managed things, Labour should be rewarded with a victory at the next election. (Yes, we know about your politics over here.)
Don the Con should go to prison, but he probably won’t. He’s managed to avoid all accountability nearly his entire life. Tax payers in New Jersey are still paying for his business screwups decades ago. Joe Biden certainly is no one’s savior, but he appears more competent than your lying, clownish PM, so really, do you want to go there?
Now that you’ve insulted Americans on here, why don’t you grow up? Because you’re hardly funny to read and thank God we don’t have to watch you.

We shall see. I believe she will throw daddy under the bus if she believes she or Jared are at risk. Unlike her mouth breathing brothers, she is now independently wealthy from the Orange traitor. She does not need daddy and will turn on him easily to save her own skin. Exactly like what daddy will do to them. She’s smart enough to know that he will turn on them to protect himself.
