Former Rep. Denver Riggleman (R-VA) said he learned during his time as a technical adviser for the Jan. 6 committee that someone inside the White House was in communication with a Capitol rioter as the building was overrun.

The former Air Force intelligence officer claims in an upcoming 60 Minutes interview.

The show teased the interview on Twitter Friday with a clip of Riggleman speaking to CBS News correspondent Bill Whitaker.

“Did it hit you at one point that this is way bigger than it appeared in the beginning?” Whitaker asked the former GOP lawmaker.

1. Book to follow?

Why hasn't the J6 Committee been informed of this already? He's a Republican, he could be tossing shiny objects, for all we know and getting publicity for another "tell all" expose.

2. Hang on there partner!

How do we know he’s been keeping it a secret?

4. Oh please, he's an adviser to the J6 committee, you think he hasn't?

He's not on Trump's side. That's been obviously seen via his many interviews on the various networks.

5. We should be hearing this first from the J6 Committee...not 60 Minutes.

My basic point.

3. Here we go.

Tie this to congress. Right around their necks. We already know none of the gqp voted to accept the election.

6. Mmm could it have been a call TO the White House?

Just asking.

7. "... he learned during his time as a technical adviser for the Jan. 6 committee"?

“..during his time…?”

He’s no longer on the team?
