Records show long gap in Trump phone logs as January 6 violence unfolded

Panel reportedly investigating possible coverup' of records, with unexplained gap of seven hours as Capitol insurrection took place

The House committee investigating the January 6 insurrection at the US Capitol is reportedly looking at a possible cover-up" of White House records focusing on Donald Trump's phone logs from that fateful day, which bear an unexplained gap of seven hours and 37 minutes covering the period when the violence was unfolding.

Documents obtained by the Washington Post and CBS News put flesh on the bones of one of the great mysteries of January 6: why White House phone logs contain holes in the record despite evidence the then president busily made calls at the height of the insurrection.
