Donald Trump used an official White House phone to place at least one call during the Capitol attack on January 6 last year that should have been reflected in the internal presidential call log from that day but was not, according to two sources familiar with the matter.
The former president called the phone of a Republican senator, Mike Lee, with a number recorded as 202-395-0000, a placeholder number that shows up when a call is incoming from a number of White House department phones, the sources said.
The number corresponds to an official White House phone and the call was placed by Donald Trump himself, which means the call should have been recorded in the internal presidential call log that was turned over to the House select committee investigating the Capitol attack.
Trumps call to Lee was reported at the time, as well as its omission from the call log, by the Washington Post and CBS. But the origin of the call as coming from an official White House phone, which has not been previously reported, raises the prospect of tampering or deletion by Trump White House officials.

(4,845 posts)They purposely don't record things on a daily basis. TFG did that since the beginning of his presidency. You can't say or pinpoint the specific time at which crime was committed like in Watergate because the log was empty for a lot of times on a daily basis unlike the mystery and obvious few minutes for Nixon.

(11,584 posts)... from those 4 years that was omitted from the official logs.
It seems like Roger Stone and the Nixon gang could have at least taught them how not to do a coverup.

(49,918 posts)Honestly, that was one of the dumbest things I've ever heard -- a 'perfect' phone call...
What exactly are the metrics one uses to determine the perfection of a phone call???
