The congressional committee investigating the January 6 Capitol insurrection appears to be closing in on former President Donald Trump and his allies’ efforts to overturn the 2020 elections and remain in power. Details from the White House call logs revealed that there was a gap of seven hours on January 6.
Call logs from the Trump White House that were released to the congressional committee showed that there was a seven-hour gap of no calls placed to or from Trump from 11:17 a.m. to 6:54 p.m. on January 6, according to the Washington Post. This would mean that the committee has no record of the former president’s conversations during the insurrection at the Capitol.
The National Archives turned over 11 pages of the president’s official daily diary and the White House switchboard call logs that showed Trump was active on the phone during that time, speaking to at least eight people in the morning and 11 people that evening. The gap does not show the publicly reported calls to the eight Republican lawmakers.
Trump, at that time, called Republican Senator Mike Lee and House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, and attempted to speak with Senator Tommy Tuberville.
The congressional committee is said to be looking into a “possible coverup” of the official records. Another individual with knowledge of the matter said that the investigators expressed interest in the gap, and the possibility of whether Trump made use of “burner phones” to speak with those involved on that day.
Robert Costa of CBS News announced this week that he and famed journalist Bob Woodward have the official White House records and the president’s daily diary, publishing the links to the records.
The logs and the diary could pose problems for Trump, as well as his allies and aides, as the committee puts together the definitive timeline of what happened on January 6.
Ohio GOP Rep. Jim Jordan famously said he could not recall what time of the day did he speak with Trump on January 6, but the call logs showed that Trump spoke with Jordan from 9:24 a.m. to 9:34 a.m. before the insurrection happened.
Costa also mentioned Steve Bannon, who was indicted by a grand jury of the DOJ for contempt of Congress.
Costa explained that Bannon was among those who were at the “war room” at the Willard Hotel, speaking with Trump on January 5 on how to get vice president Mike Pence to do their bidding. Bannon spoke with Trump twice on January 6, pushing the now-former president to pressure Pence.
