Kushner could testify before the panel virtually as early as Thursday, the report said on Monday, citing multiple sources familiar with the plans.
Kushner oversaw a substantial portfolio while in the White House, including trying to secure a Middle East peace, managing the nation’s medical stockpile, responsibility for construction of the wall at the US-Mexico border, and solving the opioid crisis.
Although Kushner distanced himself from the January 6 riot, members of the committee regard him as a key figure in the West Wing.
In text messages secured by the committee, Ginni Thomas, wife of Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas – and a conservative activist who supported Trump’s effort to overturn the 2020 presidential election – told former Trump Chief of Staff Mark Meadows that she had been communicating with Kushner about Sydney Powell, a Trump attorney who engaged in propagating and disseminating unfounded conspiracy theories about pervasive voter fraud.
The panel may ask Thomas to cooperate voluntarily in the coming days, the report added.
