Rudy Giuliani, Steve Bannon and others seeking to delay certification of Biden's win were reportedly called by Trump.
Thompson told the outlet that the panel cannot ask the National Archives for records of specific calls but plans to review White House phone records around the time of the attack in an effort to investigate specific calls Trump made to“If we say we want all White House calls made on January 5 and 6, if he made it on a White House phone, then obviously we would look at it there,” Thompson said.
“If we get the information that we requested, those calls potentially will be reflected to the Willard Hotel and whomever,” Thompson said.that in the late hours of Jan. 5 the then-president made several calls to a team led by Trump lawyers Rudy Giuliani, John Eastman and Boris Ephsteyn, as well as former White House strategist Steve Bannon, to discuss ways to delay the certification of Biden’s win.
The committee has already issued subpoenas to Eastman and Bannon but both men have refused to comply with the investigation. Eastman has vowed to invoke the Fifth Amendment and sued the panel in an effort to block the subpoena. The Justice Department has charged Bannon with two counts of contempt of Congress for refusing to comply with the panel’s requests.
“The attorney-client privilege does not operate to shield participants in a crime from an investigation into a crime,” he said. “If it did, then all you would have to do to rob a bank is bring a lawyer with you, and be asking for advice along the way.”
