Former Trump White House senior adviser Jared Kushner has rejected threats from then-White House adviser Pat Chipolon and his team to resign ahead of the January 6, 2021 riots as “whining,” according to testimony released during a committee hearing. Thursday night.
Representative Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.), A member of the House of Representatives’ committee on the Capitol riots, asked Kushner during recorded testimony if he was aware of cases in which Chipolon threatened to resign by Jan. 6.
“To some extent, as I said, my interest at the time was to try to make as many pardons as possible,” Kushner said. “I know he and the team always said, ‘Oh, we’re going to resign, we won’t be here if that happens, if that happens,’ so I kind of accepted it just to whine, to be honest with you. ”
Cheney argues that threats by Chipolon and his team to withdraw in light of plans to hold a rally on January 6 in front of the White House and allegations of rigged elections are a sign of the seriousness of the situation unfolding in the last days of former President Trump.

“It requires immediate attention,” Cheney said, adding that he had instead been rejected by Kushner and others.
Kushner was one of several former Trump White House officials whose recorded testimony was released during Thursday night’s hearing as committee members tried to prove that the Jan. 6 riots were the culmination of Trump’s words and actions in months after the 2020 elections.
Former Attorney General William Barr says he believes Trump’s allegations of rigged elections are “bull–” and Ivanka Trump, who is married to Kushner and was also a senior White House adviser, told the commission she believed that Bar is right.
