On the day of the riots, there was a huge gap in President Donald Trump's phone records.

As the attack at the U.S. Capitol unfolded last January, President Donald Trump placed at least one call using a White House phone that should have been recorded in the day's call log but was not, The Guardian reported Thursday.

The call was to Sen. Mike Lee. The brief conversation he had with both men on the call was reported in the days after the attack, but new details raise questions about the possibility of White House tampering with official records.

The Washington Post and CBS reported earlier this week that phone logs show a gap of seven hours and 37 minutes between when the mob of angry Trump supporters attacked the Capitol and when the House committee investigated.

It is possible that Trump was using his aides phones to talk to people that day. Although Trump denied knowing what burner phones were in a statement to The Washington Post, former national security adviser JohnBolton said he had heard Trump talk about the benefits of using burner phones to hide conversations.

According to The Guardian, Trump was using a White House phone when he called Lee.

The log of the calls the president makes from the White House should include data that is included in it, the newspaper said, noting that the log is supposed to be a comprehensive record of all the calls.

If the call wasn't included, that means someone may have violated protocol in order to protect Trump.

A number of people tried to get in touch with the president during the attack, pleading with him to do something to stop it. The committee and the public are interested in what Trump was doing as his supporters violently entered the Capitol.
