The committee formed by Speaker Nancy Pelosi to probe the so-called January 6 “insurrection” is investigating whether former President Donald J. Trump may have used burner phones as a means of communication during that fateful day.
On Tuesday, The Washington Post reported that there is a “7-hour gap” in calls from Trump on January 6, 2021, according to the White House call logs, prompting speculation that he may have used other methods of communication during the timeframe of 11:17 a.m. to 6:54 p.m. citing documents that the House select committee is reviewing as it seeks to build a case against the ex-POTUS.
According to WaPo, “The 11 pages of records, which consist of the president’s official daily diary and the White House switchboard call logs, were turned over by the National Archives earlier this year to the House select committee investigating the Jan. 6 attack.”
“The records show that Trump was active on the phone for part of the day, documenting conversations that he had with at least eight people in the morning and 11 people that evening,” the paper reported, “The seven-hour gap also stands in stark contrast to the extensive public reporting about phone conversations he had with allies during the attack, such as a call Trump made to Sen. Mike Lee (R-Utah) — seeking to talk to Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-Ala.) — and a phone conversation he had with House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.).”
The bombshell which was penned by Watergate reporter Bob Woodward and Robert Costa states, “The House panel is now investigating whether Trump communicated that day through back channels, phones of aides or personal disposable phones, known as ‘burner phones,’ citing the usual anonymous sources by noting” “according to two people with knowledge of the probe, who, like others interviewed for this report, spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss sensitive information.”
“One lawmaker on the panel said the committee is investigating a ‘possible coverup’ of the official White House record from that day,” the report said, conjuring the takedown of President Richard M. Nixon.
In a statement Monday night, Trump said, “I have no idea what a burner phone is, to the best of my knowledge I have never even heard the term,” according to WaPo.
CBS News, which also obtained the documents, published a story – also written by Costa – that contradicted the former president’s denial, with fired national security adviser John Bolton stating that Trump knew exactly what a burner phone was and frequently heard him use the term.

The idea that the former POTUS may have gone off the White House communications grid for those critical hours will provide additional fodder for the media as Pelosi’s sham committee of vengeful Democrats, along with malicious actor Liz Cheney and Dem toady Adam Kinzinger, continues to build its case against the real target, a man whom they are determined to stop before he is able to mount another White House run.
To Trump’s many enemies, it will be like a return to the glorious days of the Mueller investigation when the “walls were closing in” and the media breathlessly hyped every anonymously sourced story of his imminent political demise.
The story comes days before Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner is expected to provide testimony to the J6 committee and after a Clinton appointed federal judge delivered a big win to Pelosi and her minions with a ruling that it is “more likely than not that President Trump corruptly attempted to obstruct the Joint Session of Congress on January 6, 2021,”

i think they erased the logs they had the phones the natzidems will not stop at anything fjb
IMO, the 1-6 committee, chosen by Pelousy, is investigating the wrong people. Some high up democrats need to be looked at, IMO, as well as the FBI. I also want Ashli Babbitt’s MURDERER charged and tried, instead of being PROTECTED by a high up democrat, IMO.
The J6 Committee should all spend some time in prison/GITMO for “fraud, waste, and abuse” of $millions of taxpayer money on this attempt to “LYNCH” Donald Trump. They are still sooooo afraid he will run and win in 2024. The fact is ANY decent candidate could run against Joe Biden and win….I nominate GRONK as Trump’s running mate to make that team unstoppable.
I want to see the real evidence. This reeks of the Russia probe garbage where shifty kept saying he had proof when he had none. Don’t trust a single person on this committee. Where are all the videos? The ones where Capitol police not only let people in but also showed people walking in quietly, not violently and in awe of the Capitol building. We also need to know the truth why those Capitol police killed themselves, if in fact they did, and what did they know? Pelosi hands are dirty in all this. I believe the left purposely set up instigators and had their own present on that day to create chaos. It’s why many have not been called or charged who were there that day on film. The real truth will eventually come out and once again it will be what did the democrats do, not Trump.
The whole j-6 probe is pretty fishy; withholding information also about the two “dud bombs” found outside dnc & rnc offices…. May be in fact the Cap police were “killary-ed
I’ve been thinking about that part too. The only thing I can come up with is that the ones that committed “suicide” were more than likely going to spill the beans on what really happened. When the upper echelon found out about it, well, you know what happens to them… no doubt that Arkancide may have played a part in this, or maybe Nanzi has her own gang now. Who knows…
ya its the dems trying to do a coup fjb
The judge in this case needs to be thrown off the bench and disbarred as a lawyer. All of his rulings need to be overturned do to his incredible bias. His opinions being spoken without any evidence to support them shows his being unfit to sit on any bench. At the least, he MUST be removed from this case, and his rulings nullified.
If Nazi Pelosi is not subpoenaed before January of next year, don’t worry, the republicans will subpoena her. Without her sworn testimony, this whole sham committee is nothing but a democrat infomercial. FJB
Where’s the probe of Pelosi’s withholding the PRIMARY EVIDENCE in this case? Why have we not seen the Capitol SECURITY VIDEO of January 6th?
Everything else is just speculation!
The definitive answer of WHO is criminal here, is on the videos!
Why is there no Republican Chorus demanding the REAL EVIDENCE?
Geez, Cheney, you have just lost your soul, OR you never had one. I think this J6 Committee should be charged with abuse of their so-called fake powers. Their motto: if you can’t win cheat! J6 Committee is nothing more than a bunch of criminals planning their coup against Trump because they are losers, and cheated in the last election! NEVER TRUST A DEMONCRAT OR A RINO!
I think she thought this would be her springboard to run for higher office, but I think those hopes have been dashed by her behavior. IMO, she rode Daddy’s coattails this far, but I doubt she’ll go farther.
