CBS News has also learned, according to two former advisers to the Trump 2020 campaign, that the documentary project has rocked Trump’s inner circle this week since few people outside of the Trump family were aware of its scope and the high level of access granted to Holder, a British filmmaker who worked outside of official channels as he filmed the family.
Holder is scheduled to appear for a private deposition before the committee on Thursday.
Ivanka Trump appeared virtually before the Jan. 6 committee in April for several hours and parts of her testimony have been played during the committee’s hearings this month. In one clip, she said she respected Attorney General Bill Barr and “accepted what he was saying” that the claims of voter fraud were false.
But, according to The New York Times, Ivanka Trump told the film crew on Dec. 10, 2020, that her father should “continue to fight until every legal remedy is exhausted” because there were questions about “the sanctity of our elections.” She made those comments days after Barr publicly declared there was no widespread voter fraud. CBS News has confirmed the Times’ account.
