• The Jan. committee said Ivanka Trump was not "entirely frank or forthcoming" in her testimony.
• It said her former chief of staff had a better recollection of Ivanka's own actions and statements.
• Ivanka Trump testified to the committee in April, angering her father.

The January 6 committee took a swipe at Ivanka Trump, saying she didn't seem to be straight with them in her testimony.

The House Jan. 6 select committee released its executive summary of its work on Monday. It pointed to Ivanka as someone who was not "entirely frank or forthcoming" with them.

It had the same criticism of Kayleigh McEnany, Trump's former press secretary.

It said that "Other witnesses, including certain witnesses from the Trump White House, displayed a lack of full recollection of certain issues, or were not otherwise as frank or direct as [Trump White House Counsel Pat] Cipollone," and then cited Ivanka Trump and McEnany.

In McEnany's case, the committee said that other people who spoke to the committee contradicted her testimony.

It said of Ivanka that she "was not as forthcoming as Cipollone and others about President Trump's conduct."

It said that Ivanka had notable gaps in her memory, writing that often "Ivanka Trump's Chief of Staff Julie Radford had a more specific recollection of Ivanka Trump's actions and statements."

Ivanka Trump voluntarily testified before the committee in April, where she said that  she "accepted" former Attorney General Bill Barr's view that Joe Biden's victory in the 2020 election was legitimate.

Trump then hit back at her on his Truth Social platform, saying: "Ivanka Trump was not involved in looking at, or studying, Election results. She had long since checked out and was, in my opinion, only trying to be respectful to Bill Barr and his position as Attorney General (he sucked!)."

Ivanka Trump has distanced herself from her father since his presidency ended.

She said in November, after skipping her father's campaign launch, that she was was prioritizing her private life and had no plans to be involved.
