Media Hoax On Trump's Involvement with the Jan 6 Protest Exposed

 

The mainstream media has been busted again reporting a “fake news” scandal about President Trump that never happened. 

The media was gleeful this week over a supposed “seven-hour gap” in White House phone logs from January 6. However, even CNN now concedes that the “gap” was probably due to Trump’s frequent use of old-fashioned landlines and cell phones, not connected to the White House switchboard.

Documents sent to the Congressional committee investigating the Capitol breach and leaked to the media, appeared to indicate that calls were suppressed by the Trump White House.

The Washington Post compared the bogus scandal to the Nixon tapes and a leftist op-ed writer said it was “worse than Watergate”:

The Post reported: there is a seven-hour gap in Donald Trump’s phone logs on the day of the insurrection attempt. According to documents obtained by The Post and CBS News, there is no record of then-President Trump’s calls on Jan. 6, 2021, from just after 11 a.m. to shortly before 7 p.m…the documents…do show that Trump had many calls before 11 a.m. and after 6 p.m. that were apparently related to the coup effort. That suggests Trump held many calls related to the insurrection between those two times that are not officially accounted for.

As it turns out, CNN reported Thursday that there were actually no missing pages in the White House switchboard logs and there is a more likely, innocent explanation.

According to CNN: 

The mystery of the seven-hour gap has fueled furious speculation as to why calls are missing. That includes allegations that Trump was using “burner phones” or that the logs were purposely suppressed. But the gap might have a less mysterious explanation.

According to multiple sources…the January 6 log reflects Trump’s typical phone habits. He mainly placed calls through the switchboard when he was in the residence but rarely used it when he was in the Oval Office. The fact the log does not show calls on January 6, 2021, from the Oval Office is not unusual…because Trump typically had staff either place calls directly for him on landlines or cell phones. Those calls would not be noted on the switchboard log.

Yet another Trump scandal which was fabricated by the “fake news” media turns out to be a hoax.
