“We’re basically triangulating from a lot of different angles and we’re getting a full picture of what happened leading up to and on the day of Jan. 6,” Democratic Rep. Stephanie Murphy told CNN+.

Her comments come after The Washington Post and CBS News reported that official White House data as of January 6, 2021 shows a gap of more than seven hours in calls to or from Trump and does not list calls between Trump and lawmakers during the riots at the United States. which were later widely reported.
CNN first reported in February that data transferred from the National Archives to the House select committee earlier this year showed no records of phone calls made over several hours to or from Trump as the violence unfolded on Capitol Hill.

The 11 pages of the White House Presidential Diary, which is a record of the president’s day-to-day activities, and White House call logs show phone conversations Trump had with at least eight people on the morning of Jan. 6 and 11. people that night — with no notes of calls from 11:17 a.m. ET to 6:54 p.m., according to the Post and CBS, who obtained the records.

The lack of documentation of Trump’s phone calls so far has left congressional investigators gaping in their understanding of what happened in January, but Murphy insisted Wednesday that the panel will eventually get the information it seeks.

“What I always say is whether it’s a witness who doesn’t want to work with us or if there are gaps in the documentation we’ve received, we’ll get that information some other way,” the Florida Democrat said. “Those conversations weren’t one-way conversations. There was someone on the other end of those conversations, and that’s how we get that information.”

As CNN previously reported, Trump, according to sources, had a habit of asking aides to call certain people on his behalf and call the Democratic Rep. Bennie Thompson of Mississippi, chair of the House selection committee, has acknowledged that the use of private cell phones was prohibited. common in the Trump White House.

A former Trump White House aide told CNN that Trump’s calls on personal cell phones were rarely tracked or recorded.
