Trump Lawyer Didn’t Contradict Previous Witnesses

CNN reports:

The House select committee investigating the January 6, 2021, insurrection has concluded its closed-door interview Friday with Trump White House counsel Pat Cipollone during which it had been expected to ask about what he witnessed in the waning days of Donald Trump’s administration.

Cipollone met with the committee for nearly eight hours on Friday. He did not answer questions from CNN when entering or exiting the room.

Cipollone took 70 minutes’ worth of breaks from the interview with his counsel in a separate conference room throughout the day. Cipollone was among the handful of people who spent time with Trump as he watched the Capitol riot unfold on television.
