According to this article from The Washington Examiner, The New York Times reported that President Trump was open to testifying in front of the J6 committee, but only on the condition that they aired it live on TV for all Americans to see.

The hearings were aired, every day on TV, so he would have obviously been aired too.

They would make him testify behind closed doors so they could twist everything he said. The committee didn’t take him up on the offer.

And you know that because??? You had inside information? Did you also have inside information that the J6 Committee was going to destroy all their documents?

The hearings were live, but the materials they presented were edited beforehand.

Only two witnesses were aired live, Matthew Pottinger, former deputy national security advisor, and Sarah Matthews, a former press aide. Both Pottinger and Matthews resigned immediately after the Jan. 6, 2021 speech, so naturally they were ripe for the committee to show live.

Neither of these two are considered (by me) to be senior members of the Trump administration with inside knowledge of President Trump. They were aides to the senior members of the team.

Even if there was a closed door interview?

Jan. 6 hearing: Here's who spoke in closed-door interviews and what they said

The committee showed previously unseen video of testimony collected during closed depositions that includes interviews with Trump White House aides, campaign officials and members of Trump's family. Slice and dice!
