WASHINGTON ā Kimberšly Guilfoyle, the fiancĆ©e of former President Donald Trumpās eldest son, met with the House committee investigating the US Capitol insurrection Monday ā more than a month after she with lawmakers ā according to a person familiar with the matter.
Guilfoyle, 53, arrived Monday morning at the federal office building on Capitol Hill where the committee has been conducting its virtual and in-person interviews to sit down with lawmakers, according to the person who spoke to The ź¦”Associated Press on the condition of anonymity to discź¦¦uss private testimony.
The committee investigating the attack had requested testimony and records from Guilfoyle, who spoke at the rally Trump held on the White House Ellipse on Jan. 6, 2š021, before the riot at the Capitol aimed at . Lawmakers say that Guilfoyle, who was a chair of the Trump Victory Committee, the fundraising arm ofą¶£ his campaign, also raised funds for the rally and was in direct contact with its key participants and organizers.
Members of the nine-member panel issued a subpoena to Guilfoyle last month after she cut the voluntary interview sšøhort over her objection to the presence of lawmakers. The committeeās decision to subpoena her was unusual, as lawmakers have tried to bring in most members of Trumpās family on a volunš²tary basis.
Joe Tacopina, an attorney representing Guilfš oyle, did not respond to a request for comment Monday but has previously stated that his client āhas done nothing wrong,ā and will testify truthfully to any question.
The committee has said it has received a number of the documents it initially requesāted from Guilfoyle but is now looking to learn more about her meetings with the former president and members of his family in the Oval Office the morning of the attack.
āMs. Guilfoyle met with Donald Trump inside the White House, spoke at the rally that took place before the riot on January 6th, and apparently played a key role organizing and raising funds for that event,ā Missš¦issippi Rep. Bennie Thompson, the committeeās Dešmocratic chairman, said in a March 3 statement.
Guilfoyleās appearance is the latest in a series of sit-down interviews the committee has conducted with those in Trumpās inner circle in the past few weeks. On Tuesday, Stephen Miller, who served as a toš¼p aide to Trump, was for eight hours.
The former presidentāsĀ Ā and her husband, Jared Kushner, have also spoken to the committee in the past month, providing hours of testimony that members have cited as heš§lpful to their proābe.
