Guilfoyle was aware that committee members could participate in the interview before she abruptly ended it, according to Thompson.

According to the January 6 committee, Guilfoyle was a key player on the day of the riot, helping to organize the "Stop the Steal" rally and meeting with then- President Donald Trump at the White House. Guilfoyle ended her voluntary interview with staff and committee members on February 25. The committee was accused of using the interview as a political weapon against Trump, and of leaking information about the interview to justify Guilfoyle's refusal to cooperate. According to the New York Times, participants in the interview included two congressmen. Guilfoyle backed out of her original commitment without valid justification, according to Thompson. A witness who does not comply with a congressional subpoena may be fined up to $1,000 and imprisoned for up to a year. One day after the committee claimed in a legal filing it had sufficient evidence to conclude Trump and members of his campaign engaged in a criminal conspiracy to defraud the United States by attempting to overturn the 2020 presidential election, Guilfoyle's subpoena was issued. Over 35,000 documents have been received by the committee so far.
The New York Times reported that Ms. Guilfoyle agreed to meet with counsel for the select committee in a good-faith effort to provide true and relevant evidence.
