What Trump was doing in that 187 minutes? [View all]

If we recall, he was asked by a reporter if he had been concerned about his VP's security while the rioters were over-taking the Capitol? He said he was told that he was safe and there was no problem. He wasn't worried about that.

Who would have told him about Pence if he was not on the phone with someone? Who would that have been?

Also, he was watching television a lot. One witness had stated that he would rewind and watch the good parts over. He was thoroughly enjoying it.

In my opinion, they will discover that Trump was on the phone with the Secret Service to monitor the location of Pence? He wanted him out of the building and out of the area. How many times would he have called the Secret Service?

It has already been reported that he had a phone call with Kevin McCarthy. It was the moment that he told McCarthy that maybe the rioters cared more about the country than he did. Also, it was reported that he was attempting to call newly-elected Senator Tuberville and accidentally called Utah Senator Mike Lee.

I think we will discover that he was on the phone several times during the missing 187 minutes? I suspect we may find that out during these hearings.
