White House call logs on the day of the Capitol riot had a 7-hour gap, report says, as House panel investigates 'possible cover-up'

There was a seven hour gap in White House call logs on the day of the Capitol riot, and the House January 6 committee is looking into it, The Washington Post and CBS News reported.

According to The Post, the documents obtained by the outlets show a gap of seven hours and 37 minutes from 11:17 a.m. to 6:54 p.m. The duration of the Capitol riot is included in the time frame.

Multiple reports said that Donald Trump spoke with several lawmakers during that time, but the call logs did not show it.

A lawmaker told The Post that the committee was looking into a possible cover-up of the phone records. The lawmaker's name was not published by the Post.

Two sources told The Post that the committee was looking at whether Trump used burner phones to communicate.

I have no idea what a burner phone is, to the best of my knowledge, I have never heard of it.

Multiple previous reports show that Trump uses aides phones to communicate. The calls wouldn't show up in official records.

CNN reported in February that Trump used the phone of his aide to make calls.

CNN reported that Trump used the phone of a Secret Service agent to call his wife, after reports came out of an affair he had with the adult film star Stormy Daniels.
