White House data reveals an unexplained gap of more than seven hours in the recording of telephone conversations from former President Donald Trump on January 6, 2021, the day of the storming of the Capitol. American media reports that.
Check out the reconstruction of that storming of the Capitol below:
The logs handed over to the House of Representatives committee investigating the attack make no mention of calls to or from Trump between 11:17 a.m. and 6:54 p.m. while his supporters sparked violent riots at the Capitol. At that time, Congressmen were about to officially ratify Joe Biden’s election victory.
Eleven pages of reports submitted to the commission of inquiry show that Trump telephoned at least eight people before the log hole, and at least 11 people afterward.
During the storming of the Capitol, and in the period afterwards, American media also reported extensively about several conversations that Trump had on January 6 with allies and representatives of the people. The Commission of Inquiry is now investigating whether he also communicated through unofficial channels that day.
On January 6 last year, thousands of supporters of then-President Donald Trump marched to the Capitol, where Congress would then ratify the results of the presidential election. Trump had roused the crowd earlier that day during a speech claiming Democrat Joe Biden had won thanks to massive electoral fraud.
Kevin McCarthy, leader of the Republicans in the House of Representatives, reported last year that he had spoken to Trump during the facts and that he had urged the president to recall his supporters and accept his defeat.
