“I hope so,” Grisham responded before Behar pressed her again.

“We all hope so, but do you think it will happen?” Behar asked.

“I don’t know. He seems to get away with everything,” Grisham said.

The Jan. 6 committee has spoken in recent months to a number of people inside Trump’s White House and inner circle as it works to ascertain what led to the Jan. 6 attack and what Trump did during it.

Last week, the committee said Trump may have “engaged in a criminal conspiracy” to keep the 2020 presidential election results from being certified

Democrats have blamed Trump for the violence that unfolded, saying his unfounded claims of voter fraud spurred the anger among his supporters that resulted in the storming of the Capitol.

Trump and his allies have dismissed the congressional probe as a “witch hunt” and partisan in nature.

Since resigning from Trump’s administration following the attack, Grisham penned a memoir that contains news and nuggets about her time in the White House and allegations of a toxic environment while working for the former president.
