Jan. 6 panel missing roughly 8 hours of Trump's phone calls

WASHINGTON (AP) — The House panel investigating the Jan. 6 insurrection at the Capitol has identified a roughly eight-hour gap in official records of then-President Donald Trump's phone calls as the violence unfolded and his supporters stormed the building, according to a person familiar with the probe.

The gap extends from a little after 11 a.m. to about 7 p.m. on Jan. 6, 2021, and involves White House calls, according to the person, who was not authorized to speak publicly about the ongoing investigation and spoke to The Associated Press on Tuesday on the condition of anonymity. It's unclear if that gap includes White House cellphones.

It's widely known that Trump had conversations on Jan. 6 with Republican lawmakers. House investigators are looking at whether the president was communicating during that time through other means, possibly through personal cellphones, or some other type of communication — like a phone passed to him by an aide or a burner phone. The committee has subpoenaed cellphone companies for records and is awaiting data. Trump had no immediate comment Tuesday, but he has previously disparaged the investigation.

The committee also is continuing to receive records from the National Archives and other sources, which could produce additional information.

That's longer than the gap in Nixon's tapes if you're old enough to remember that.

1. Nixon's tapes

2. Wasn't the Nixon 'gap' only 18 minutes long?

Yet Nixon's thwarting of law and democratic norms seem like cupcakes to what we witnessed during the Trump mis-administration. OK, we missed impeachment. But why isn't he in jail yet?

3. Ya think Vlad's got the convo saved to his Dotard file?

6. How do they keep an accurate log these days..???

Everyone with personal cell phones, multiple for some folks....How does the White House do it, keep an accurate record?

7. What do you know, ...there are many more acts to this show!!!

8. Wish reporters would at least whittle down the gap. Like first 2+ hours, trump was engaged

in his speech in front of WH.

Next, his handlers had to get him prepared and force him to make another speech in afternoon where he asked all the "loverly people" to go home. Then, he was tweeting BS, probably while sitting on toilet.

When it's over, the majority of "gaps" will be covered by the phone calls and meetins we have known about for over a year.

I wish this were like Nixon's gap, where it was a gap in a recorded phone call. But it's not. Apparently trump did not routinely record phone calls. I suspect most former presidents didn't either.
