Investigators have not uncovered evidence that any official
records were tampered with or deleted, the newspaper reported
https://nyti.ms/3HJN5f9 on Thursday, citing two people familiar
with the phone records and noting Trump was known to use his
personal cellphone or other people's cellphones.
The call log gaps may complicate House investigators' efforts to
get a complete picture of the former Republican president's
actions at the time his supporters stormed the U.S. Capitol.
Still, the House panel has obtained information on calls and
other communications as it interviews other witnesses.
In August, investigators told 35 telephone, email and social
media companies to preserve any records that could be relevant
to the probe. Last month, the panel subpoenaed several social
media firms, including Facebook parent Meta, Google parent
Alphabet, Twitter and Reddit.
CNN last month also reported that the panel had subpoenaed and
obtained records of phone numbers associated with Trump's son
Eric Trump as well as Kimberly Guilfoyle, who is engaged to his
other son, Donald Trump Jr.
Trump, in a statement released before the Times' report, again
decried the panel and called the probe a political attack
against him.
