Per The New York Times, Ivanka Trump and Kushner have been subpoenaed to testify before a grand jury about former President Trump’s alleged efforts to overturn the 2020 election and his role in the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol.

The report comes after Smith subpoenaed former Trump chief of Staff Mark Meadows and former Vice President Mike Pence, following months of negotiations between Pence’s legal team and federal prosecutors.
Trump spent the days leading up to Jan. 6, 2021 pressuring Pence to reject the outcome – despite Pence not having the power to do so. Pence was at the U.S. Capitol presiding over a joint session of Congress as Trump supporters stormed the U.S. Capitol.
Pence has said he plans to challenge the special counsel’s subpoena, taking it to the Supreme Court if necessary.
