前总统特朗普的女婿贾里德·库什纳曾在特朗普政府期间担任白宫西翼的高级助手，预计他将在1月6日自愿接受众议院特别委员会的调查国会大厦袭击据熟悉该计划的多个消息来源称，最早将于周四公布。

该委员会的一名发言人没有回应美国广播公司新闻部就质询库什纳的计划寻求评论的请求，该计划可能被推迟或延迟。

据消息人士称，库什纳计划在陪审团面前露面。

1月6日，当对国会大厦的袭击开始时，库什纳正从沙特阿拉伯返回华盛顿，他在沙特阿拉伯帮助谈判结束了波斯湾的分歧，他着陆后没有返回白宫。

据ABC新闻首席华盛顿记者乔纳森·卡尔在他的书《背叛》中说，库什纳避开了白宫，因为他认为他会与总统“斗争”，库什纳在骚乱后一天告诉共和党议员。

贾里德·库什纳在2019年12月9日在华盛顿新闻博物馆举行的华尔街日报首席执行官委员会上聆听。

据卡尔说，库什纳的妻子伊万卡那天和特朗普在白宫，并多次试图让他帮助制止国会大厦的骚乱。最近几周，该委员会一直在与伊万卡·特朗普谈判，看她是否会配合调查小组的调查。

库什纳在白宫拥有广泛的投资组合——涵盖联邦冠状病毒应对和中东和平努力——但他与挑战和推翻选举结果的努力保持距离。

但他仍被视为白宫西翼的关键人物;在该委员会获得的短信中，最高法院大法官克拉伦斯·托马斯的妻子、保守派活动人士金尼·托马斯(Ginni Thomas)向特朗普的幕僚长马克·梅多斯(Mark Meadows)暗示，她与库什纳就特朗普的律师西德尼·鲍威尔(Sidney Powell)进行了联系，后者重复并推广了关于广泛投票欺诈的毫无根据的阴谋论。

消息人士告诉ABC新闻，该小组可能会在未来几天要求托马斯自愿配合调查。

Jared Kushner expected to appear before Jan. 6 committee this week

Jared Kushner, former President Trump's son-in-law who served as a senior West Wing aide during the Trump administration, is expected to appear voluntarily before the House select committee investigating the Jan. 6Capitol attackas early as Thursday, according to multiple sources familiar with the plans.

A spokesman for the committee did not respond to a request from ABC News seeking comment on plans to question Kushner, which could be postponed or delayed.

Plans are for Kushner to appear virtually before the panel, according to sources.

On Jan. 6, Kushner was traveling back to Washington from Saudi Arabia, where he had helped negotiate an end to a rift in the Persian Gulf, when the attack on the Capitol began, and he did not return to the White House when he landed.

According to ABC News Chief Washington Correspondent Jonathan Karl in his book "Betrayal," Kushner avoided the White House because he thought he would get in a "fight" with the president, Kushner told a GOP lawmaker one day after the riot.

Kushner's wife Ivanka was with Trump at the White House that day, and repeatedly tried to get him to help stop the riot at the Capitol, according to Karl. The committee has been negotiating with Ivanka Trump over whether she will cooperate with the panel's inquiry in recent weeks.

Kushner held a broad portfolio in the White House -- covering the federal coronavirus response and Middle Eastern peace efforts -- but kept his distance from efforts to challenge and overturn the election results.

But he was still seen as a key figure in the West Wing; in text messages obtained by the committee, Ginni Thomas -- the conservative activist and wife of Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas -- suggested to Trump's Chief of Staff Mark Meadows that she was in contact with Kushner regarding Trump attorney Sidney Powell, who repeated and promoted unfounded conspiracy theories about widespread voting fraud.

The panel could ask Thomas to voluntarily cooperate with its investigation in the coming days, sources tell ABC News.
