Bernard Kerik, a former New York City police commissioner involved with former President Trump’s efforts to retain control of the White House, will sit for a voluntary interview with the committee investigating the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol, his attorney told The Hill Tuesday.
Timothy Parlatore, Kerik’s attorney, said the two initially planned to appear for but then walk out of a slated Thursday deposition with the committee in objection to Republicans' role within the panel’s structure. But he said the committee has since agreed to allow Kerik to appear outside of a formal deposition.
“I believe that they lack the authority to conduct depositions. However, Mr. Kerik does want to meet with them and to provide them with information and so therefore, we will do it by voluntary interview,” Parlatore said.
The committee did not immediately respond to request for comment on the arrangement.
