Jared Kushner, Donald Trump's son-in-law and a former presidential adviser, testified to the House select committee investigating Jan. 6 that he viewed threats from White House lawyers to quit over Trump's plot to overturn his loss as "whining."

Rep. Liz Cheney, R-Wyo., the committee's vice-chair, played a clip of Kushner's deposition during the first committee hearing on Thursday night.
