In a dramatic moment at the end of this week’s Jan 6 hearings, committee Vice Chair Liz Cheney revealed that Trump “tried to call” an unnamed witness in the committee’s investigation. She said that witness “declined to answer or respond” to Trump’s call and called their lawyer. Since this stunning revelation, the committee has turned over the information to the DOJ.
All we know about the unidentified witness is that they are a member of the ‘White House support staff’ but not someone who heard from former President Trump directly. So to get his call and startling and disturbing.
Said witness came forward after White House’s Cassidy Hutchinson’s testimony and is expected to corroborate part of what she said, hence the Committee’s interest in putting them under oath for their testimony.
