How Congress Is Investigating January 6th — And Preparing For Any Future Attacks

Ivanka Trump, daughter and adviser to the former president, voluntarily testified before House investigators for more than eight hours this week about the insurrectionist riot in the Capitol.

This episode: demographics and culture correspondent Danielle Kurtzleben, national justice correspondent Carrie Johnson, congressional reporter Claudia Grisales, and congressional correspondent Kelsey Snell.
