Kellyanne Conway Meets With Jan. 6 Investigators For 5 Hours

Kellyanne Conway, who served as a senior adviser to President Donald Trump, spoke Monday to House of Representatives special committee investigators looking into the events surrounding the Jan. 6, 2021 attack on the Capitol, according to several media reports.

Conway spoke for nearly five hours in a closed-door meeting in Washington, D.C., after she was seen entering a conference room with attorney Emmett Flood, who also served in the White House during the Trump administration, NBC News reported.

“I’m here voluntarily,” she told reporters after the meeting. She added that she spoke with the former president last week, but that Trump did not know he planned to meet with House investigators.

Conway was a key figure during Trump’s bid for the White House in 2016 and served in his administration until she resigned in August 2020. She was not working for the then-president at the time of the rebellion, but The Washington Post reported in January 2021 d. that she called a White House aide as the attack unfolded, urging Trump to speak to his supporters and tell them to back off.

CNN added on Monday that the select committee was particularly concerned by reports that Trump conceded to it his loss in the 2020 election after Democrat Joe Biden won the popular and electoral college votes.

“I’m not disclosing those conversations,” Conway told reporters Monday, according to CNN. “I think if they want to get that out of him, they should take him down.”

The House panel is working to finalize its investigation before Republicans regain control of the chamber in January and likely shut down the probe.

Conway told reporters that she is not working with Trump on his 2024 re-election bid.
