White House records show a gap of more than seven hours in former President Donald Trump's official phone calls the day of the deadly Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol, The Washington Post and CBS reported on Tuesday.
... that must have been when he was using other people's cell phones to avoid complying with preserving presidential records while directing the insurrection from the oval office.

WASHINGTON, March 29 (Reuters) - White House records show a gap of more than seven hours in former President Donald Trump's official phone calls the day of the deadly Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol, The Washington Post and CBS reported on Tuesday.
Logs turned over to the House panel investigating the attack showed no calls placed to or by Trump between 11:17 a.m. and 6:54 p.m. while his supporters violently rioted at the Capitol as lawmakers were set to certify Trump's 2020 election loss, the news outlets reported.
The 11 pages of records turned over to lawmakers showed Trump talked to at least eight people by phone before the gap and 11 afterward, the Post and CBS said.
Representatives for the committee and Trump could not be immediately reached for comment on the report.
Extensive public reporting also cites multiple conversations Trump had on Jan. 6 with allies and lawmakers, prompting lawmakers to probe whether he communicated that day through unofficial back channels, the report said, citing two people familiar with the congressional investigation.
House leader Kevin McCarthy last year described talking to his fellow Republican during the rioting, saying he urged the president to call off his supporters and accept his defeat.
"I was very clear with the president when I called him," McCarthy told …

find and prosecute every individual that helped trumpski evade preserving the presidential record.
hummmm... If they were all on the "up and up" and not committing any crimes why would anyone need to bypass the presidential records? Wouldn't all their actions on the record back up their claims of innocence?
Trump was talking on the phone to people during the seven "missing" hours, he just wasnt doing it on a phone that could be traced.
Which should allow the House panel to subpoena them from Trump's personal phone's carrier, AT&T, Verizon, etc.
It's been reported that "45" would use the phones of aids to avoid the records act.
Maybe so, but he was RECEIVING calls during the insurrection. Most likely on his personal, non-secured, cell phone that he refused to give up for security concerns.
Must be a trick he learned when he was fucking around on his wives. Use his assistant's phone so his calls to his mistress couldn't be traced & used against him in divorce court. His MO hasn't changed - just the size of the damage he could incur.
Donald Trump’s phone games are admired amongst teenagers everywhere.
an oldie but a goodie.
He might have just been playing golf somewhere.

Yep...his goose is cooked for sure this time, with this latest bombshell revelation.
autocrats seem to believe the POTUS is above the law.
Hopefully for them they do better than the couple of dozen times they have sent him to jail in the past. So far they are 0 for.......
It is embarrassing for them.

Supporters of the trumpturd don't seem to have the ability to be embarrassed or ashamed.
Once again supporters of the trumpturd are saying
Or maybe they just don't want to proclaim his guilt until all the facts are in so they can avoid looking foolish

No, that looks more like the insurrection started/incited by trumpturd and his domestic terrorists mobs after he LOST THE ELECTION BIGLY.
Originally it was.

Sounds about right.
Why dont you refute the meaning of the seven hour gap, if you can, instead of yet again whining about how Trump is being persecuted.
As of yet there is no meaning to it. Only conjecture and wishful thinking.
There is a big difference between whining and making an observation.
The meaning is that 7 hours of logs it is being illegally withheld.
Am I the only one having flashbacks to Nixon's 18½-minute gap?
What conjecture? There are a missing 7 hours in the phone log turned in.
Unless you are claiming that POTUS did not receive ANY phone calls during an insurrection in Washington DC.
The observation is that the former President, and his lawyers, are illegally withholding subpoenaed information for an ongoing investigation.
Yes, and I've not seen you make any observations .
Only because you either don't want to [deleted]
the secret service needs to terminate those agents with confused loyalties and clear out all the dead wood. congress then needs to remove their lifetime protection from trump.
Assuming that is even possible I would think that is not a precedent congress would be interested in starting. It could lead to problems for them.
... walking around a box in the rotunda for a few days on the way to work would be a temporary inconvenience.

you do realize, four people already died that day, and imho, 45 is why !
And you are welcome to that opinion.

Could this be the reason we have calls going to Meadows? We know "45" talked to certain congress people that day.

Sister Mary Agnes Ample Bottom is on the case.
Rumor has it that on the day following, he spent an extraordinary amount of time in one of the WH bathrooms, flushing and giggling, flushing and giggling, flushing and giggling...
Maybe his diarrhea of the mouth spread to the bottom half of his body.
That wouldn't surprise me a bit, however, I was thinking more along the line of flushing torn-up pieces of paper...
Are political campaign activities supposed to be recorded in official logs? I don't know.
I thought using official communication channels for political campaign activities was prohibited. I could be wrong. Does anyone else know?
that jag-off's campaign ended several hours after election day when he was declared the loser.
I don't know. If an elected official participates in a political event is that considered official government business? Does anyone else know?
since when is instigating an insurrection a political campaign event?

We know that it's impossible for Trump to keep his mouth shut for 7 hours, sooooo.
excellent point.
I've already lived through this with Watergate. Why do these fools keep making the same damn mistakes? Is is the orange makeup?
