So Trump casually said his daughter committed perjury when she testified the other day. Dear ol’ dad.

During an appearance on MSNBC on Sunday afternoon, Mary Trump claimed that her uncle Donald’s dismissive comment that daughter Ivanka had “checked out” when he tried to undermine her taped testimony before the House select committee investigating the Jan 6th insurrection could be taken as an accusation she perjured herself.

…

Trump lashed out on TruthSocial at the hearing and included his daughter in his criticism claiming, “Ivanka Trump was not involved in looking at, or studying, Election results,” adding she, “had long since checked out, and was, in my opinion, only trying to be respectful to Bill Barr and his position as Attorney General (he sucked!).”

[Trump chose Barr. If he sucks, why did Trump choose him? Does he think Barr was someone else’s choice?]

According to Mary Trump, while the former president didn’t entirely didn’t “throw Ivanka under the bus,” he did accuse her of a federal crime.

Asked by host Witt, “Is this what you expected from your uncle?” Mary Trump replied, “It’s exactly what I expected from both of them.”

“I think Ivanka walked a very fine line,” she elaborated. “She did not say anything necessarily incendiary but, as we thought would happen, she decided she needed to come down on the side of what the facts support.”

“Of course, the election was not stolen,” she added. “Also, as we knew would happen, Donald didn’t entirely throw her under the bus. But I think it’s really important to point out the fact he said that she checked out, although that is kind of rude, isn’t really the issue. He is accusing her of perjury, really.”

I suppose there’s an argument that he didn’t: that because he chose the escape-wording “checked out” he said she wasn’t really firing on all cylinders, as opposed to consciously lying.
