EKO HOT BLOG reports that former US President Donald Trump has hit back at his daughter Ivanka after she distanced herself from his unfounded claims of mass voter fraud.

A probe into 2021 US Capitol riots on Thursday aired a previously unseen clip of Ms Trump rejecting the allegations.

Trump said Ivanka had not been looking at election results and “had long since checked out”.

Democrats argue the mob attack on Congress was the culmination of a months-long attempted coup by Trump.

Graphic footage and testimony of the 6 January 2021 raid on the Capitol in Washington DC was televised on Thursday by the US House of Representatives select committee.

The prime-time hearing drew 20 million viewers on the TV networks.

The broadcast included a clip of testimony by former US Attorney General Bill Barr saying he had repeatedly dismissed the outgoing president’s claims that mass voter fraud had caused him to lose the election.

Another excerpt was aired of Ivanka Trump’s interview from April with the committee when she was asked about her reaction to Mr Barr’s assessment.

“It affected my perspective,” Ms Trump said. “I respect Attorney General Barr so I accepted what he was saying.”
