House Jan. 6 committee chair says gap in Trump phone log is "concerning"

The chairman of the Jan. 6 House select committee said a report from CBS News and The Washington Post that records from the day of the attack on the U.S. Capitol show a gap in former President Donald Trump's phone logs of seven hours and 37 minutes is "concerning."

"Obviously, there is not a second in the day that the president of the United States is not on record somewhere," Rep. Bennie Thompson, Democrat from Mississippi, told CBS News on Tuesday after a White House bill signing event. He said the committee would see "if we can piece it together."

"Having a record of what the president was doing on that day is absolutely vital to the work of the committee," Thompson added.
