The House select committee investigating the Capitol riot have found “intense interest” in an alleged gap in phone logs in official White House records.
According to the Washington Post, a 7.5 hour gap appears in the phone logs for President Donald Trump’s communications that day. This time period covers when the Capitol riots took place.
Representative Jamie B. Raskin appeared in an interview on CBS News’s “Face the Nation,” saying, “It’s a very unusual thing for us to find that suddenly everything goes dark for a seven-hour period in terms of tracking the movements and the conversations of the president.”
He and other members of the committee have been able to piece together some of what happened during that time from other interviews that they have conducted.
Raskin added that “the gaps are suspiciously tailored to the heart of the events” of January 6th. However, the committee is considering if the gaps are do to incompetence rather than conspiracy.” Raskin noted that the committee was aware that the president was taking calls during that time, “but we have no comprehensive, fine-grained portrait of what was going on during that period.”
Raskin said the committee’s mission is to get “a complete picture” of everything that took place on January 6th. They are also willing to do what needs to be done “to fortify democratic institutions and processes against future insurrections and coups and attempts to destabilize and overthrow our elections.”
