Gap in Trump call logs on Jan. 6 “suspiciously tailored,” Rep. Raskin says
On Oct. 8 White House press secretary Jen Psaki confirmed a plan to authorize documents related to President Donald Trump’s communications on Jan. 6.
Earlier this year, the National Archives and Records Administration turned over to the committee 11 pages of White House records from that day, including the president’s official daily diary and the White House switchboard call logs., those records did not include any documentation of calls placed to or by Trump from 11:17 a.m. to 6:54 p.m. on Jan. 6, 2021.Raskin added that the committee’s mission is to get “a complete picture” of everything that took place on Jan.
“I do feel confident we’re going to be able to tell that story,” Raskin said, adding, “Obviously, we’re up against a lot of obstruction now.” On March 28, the House committee investigating the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol voted for charges against former Trump aides Peter Navarro and Dan Scavino Jr. — former trade and manufacturing director Peter Navarro and former communications chief Daniel Scavino Jr. — in criminal contempt of Congress for refusing to comply with the committee’s subpoenas. Raskin said the
House probably would vote this week on whether to refer Navarro and Scavino to the Justice Department for prosecution.Like Trump and a raft of other former aides, Navarro and Scavino have tried to claim they are protected by executive privilege and that the subpoenas were an overreach by the committee. They are among the latest in high-profile Trump White House officials facing repercussions for refusing to comply with the Jan. 6 committee’s subpoenas.
