Former President Donald Trump spent Friday morning trying to spin the story of the Jan. 6, 2021 , attack on the Capitol in a series of messages posted to his social media app, Truth Social .

He specifically targeted his eldest daughter, Ivanka Trump , whose videotaped testimony was played in part on Thursday evening at the first public hearing of the House select committee investigating the attack.

Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.), the committees vice chair, walked viewers through sworn testimony from Trump-era Attorney General William Barr in which he dismissed Trumps claims that the 2020 presidential election was stolen as bullshit. Asked about Barrs assertion, Ivanka said it affected my perspective.

I respect Attorney General Barr, so I accepted what he was saying, she said in a clip aired at the hearing.

The former president responded by saying his daughter didnt know what she was talking about.

Ivanka Trump was not involved in looking at, or studying Election results. She had long since checked out and was, in my opinion, only trying to be respectful to Bill Bar and his position as Attorney General (he sucked!), Trump wrote on Truth Social.

He also bashed Barr in other messages, calling him weak and frightened and a coward.
