The 11 pages of the archives, which consist of the president’s official daily diary and call logs on the White House distribution board, were handed over from the National Archives earlier this year to a select House committee investigating the Jan. 6 attack. The story goes on under the ad Records show Trump was active on the phone for part of the day, documenting conversations he had with at least eight people that morning and 11 that night. The seven-hour hiatus is also in stark contrast to extensive public reports of phone conversations he had with allies during the attack, such as a call Trump made to Sen. Mike Lee (R-Utah) – asking to speak with him. Senator Tommy Tuberville (R-Ala.) – and a telephone conversation he had with House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.). The House panel is now investigating whether Trump communicated that day via back channels, auxiliary phones or disposable personal phones known as “burner phones,” according to two knowledgeable investigators who, like others interviewed, for this report, spoke on the condition of anonymity for the discussion of sensitive information. The committee is also examining whether it received the full logs from that day. A lawmaker on the panel said the commission was investigating a “possible cover-up” of the White House official file from that day. Another person close to the committee said the large gap in the files is “intense interest” for some lawmakers on the committee, many of whom have looked at copies of the documents. Both spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the committee’s internal discussions. Records show that former White House chief of staff Stephen K. Bannon – who said in his Jan. 5 podcast that “hell will be ruined tomorrow” – spoke with Trump twice on Jan. 6. In a call that morning, Bannon urged Trump to continue pressuring Pence to block congressional certification of Joe Biden’s victory in the 2020 presidential election, according to sources familiar with the exchange. The story goes on under the ad Trump was known for using different phones when he was in the White House, according to people familiar with his activities. Occasionally, when he made outgoing calls, the number appeared as the number on the White House distribution board, according to a former Trump administration official. Other times, he called from different numbers – or no numbers appeared on the recipient’s phone, the official said. A committee spokesman declined to comment. In a statement Monday night, Trump said: “I have no idea what a burning phone is, as far as I know I have never even heard the term.” A Trump spokeswoman said Trump had nothing to do with the files and assumed all his phone calls were recorded and retained. The story goes on under the ad In a recent court hearing, the Jan. 6 commission said it had “a good faith basis to conclude that the President and members of his campaign were involved in a criminal conspiracy to deceive the United States” and prevented congressional vote counting. . A federal judge ruled Monday that Trump “probably did not” commit a federal crime in an attempt to prevent a vote count in Congress on Jan. 6. The ruling concerned emails from conservative lawyer John Eastman, Trump’s ally, who had resisted being handed over to the Jan. 6 commission. A Trump spokesman called the decision “absurd and unfounded.” Five of the pages in the White House archives received by the House committee are entitled “THE DAILY DIRECTOR OF PRESIDENT DONALD J. TRUMP” and describe in detail some of Trump’s January 6 phone calls and moves. The other six pages are titled “PRESIDENT LOG CALL” and have information provided by the distribution panel and White House aides, including telephone numbers and notes on the time and duration of certain calls. The story goes on under the ad The files were submitted to the National Archives commission earlier this year after the Supreme Court rejected Trump’s request to prevent the court from receiving White House documents from Jan. 6. The Presidential Records Act requires the retention of memos, letters, notes, emails, faxes, and other written communications related to the official duties of a president. The National Archives website states that the presidential diary should be a “chronological record of the President’s movements, telephone calls, travels” and meetings. In January, The Post reported for the first time that some of the Trump White House files handed over to the committee were potentially incomplete, including those that had been cut and re-glued together. The New York Times first reported in February that the commission had found loopholes in the White House telephone records since Jan. 6, but did not say when or how long that day. CNN initially reported that “several hours” in Trump’s files provided to the commission had no indication of telephone calls. Documents obtained by the commission show that Trump had several exchanges that were not previously reported on Jan. 6, including short phone calls with Bannon and personal lawyer Rudy Giuliani that morning, before Trump had one last conversation with Pence, in which the vice president told him was not going to prevent Congress from formalizing Biden’s victory. The call for the vice president was part of Trump’s effort to implement a plan backed by Bannon and outlined in a note by Conservative lawyer John Eastman that would allow Trump to retain the presidency, as initially reported. in the book. “Danger.” According to White House records, Bannon and Trump spoke at 8:37 p.m. on January 6th. Trump spoke with Giuliani around 8:45 a.m. At 8:56 a.m., Trump asked the White House distribution panel to answer a call from Chief of Staff Mark Livadia. Then, at 9:02 a.m., Trump asked the pilot to call Pence. The pilot informed him that there was a message left for the vice president. The story goes on under the ad Bannon’s first phone call with Trump on Jan. 6 lasted about a minute, according to documents. During that conversation, Bannon asked Trump if Pence would come for a breakfast meeting, according to two people familiar with the exchange. Bannon hoped Trump could press the vice president for breakfast to agree to cancel Biden’s victory certification by Congress, the people said. But Trump told Bannon that Pence was not scheduled to come to the White House after a heated meeting between Trump and Pence last night, Jan. 5, at the Oval Office. Bannon quickly pressured Trump to call Pence and tell him again to stop doing anything that would allow certification. Trump agreed, people said. According to White House telephone records, Bannon and Trump spoke again late on Jan. 6 in a call that began at 10:19 p.m. and ended at 10:26 p.m. The story goes on under the ad Bannon declined to comment through a spokesman. Bannon, a key figure in a group of Trump allies who met at the Willard Hotel near the White House on Jan. 5 to discuss their Jan. 6 strategy, was indicted by the Justice Department last year for refusing to work with the House committee. which is seeking more documents and testimonies about his conversations with Trump. Trump’s final call to Pence is not recorded in the call record, although many people close to both men said the call was made late in the morning before Trump headed to the Save America rally in Ellipse. During their conversation, Pence told Trump: “When I go to the Capitol, I will do my job” and I will not block Biden’s certification, angering Trump, according to Peril. The story goes on under the ad Trump said, “Mike, you can do that. I rely on you to do it. “If you do not, I chose the wrong man four years ago,” he added, according to the book. “You will disappear!” Pence later published a letter saying that, as vice president, he did not have “unilateral power to decide on presidential elections” and that he would “keep the oath” he made when he was sworn in. The White House records also show that Trump had talks on January 6 with White House election lawyers and officials, as well as with external allies such as then-Senator David Perdue (R-Ga.), Conservative commentator William J. Bennett. and Fox News host Sean Hannity. Bennett, Hannity and Perdue did not respond to a request for comment.

At 8:34 a.m., he spoke with Kurt Olsen, who was advising Trump on legal challenges in the election. Trump then telephoned Sen. Mitch McConnell (Republican), Republican leader, and Sen. Josh Howley (Mo.), but it is unclear if he reached them, according to the documents. A McConnell associate said Monday that McConnell turned down Trump’s call. Howley, Trump’s ally, was the first senator to say he would oppose the certification, a decision that sparked other Republican senators to say they too would object. Records show that Trump had a 10-minute call that started at 9:24 a.m. with Jim Jordan, an Ohio Republican who worked closely with Trump’s White House and was a key player in pushing fellow GOP lawmakers to oppose Biden election certification. Jordan refused to cooperate with the parliamentary committee. Trump’s 10 minute phone call had …
