Here’s who spoke in closed-door interviews and what they said

The panel played a quip from former Attorney General Bill Barr who testified that he told former President Donald Trump the claims of a rigged election were [expletive].”

“I made it clear that I did not agree with the idea of saying the
the election was stolen and putting out this stuff, which I told the
the president was [expletive],” Barr said. “I didn’t want to be a part of it, and that’s one of the reasons that went into me deciding to leave when I did.”

The panel played a video deposition of the former president’s own daughter, Ivanka Trump, who said she “accepted” that AG Barr found no widespread fraud in the 2020 election.

“It affected my perspective. I respect AG Barr, so I accepted what he was saying,” she said.

The House select committee played a clip of recorded testimony from ex-Trump adviser Jason Miller stating that then-President Donald Trump was told by the campaign’s lead data aide “in pretty blunt terms that he was going to lose.”

“I was in the Oval Office,” Miller said in his deposition, a clip of which was played at Thursday’s hearing. “At some point in the conversation, Matt Oczkowski, who was the lead data person, was brought on, and I remember he delivered to the President in pretty blunt terms that he was going to lose.”

Cannon testified that he told former President Trump’s Chief of Staff Mark Meadows by “mid-to-late November” that the campaigns came up empty when it tried to find widespread fraud in key states that Trump lost.

In a video snippet, Kushner is seen talking about White House counsel Pat Cipollone. When asked if he thought, Cipollone would resign, Kushner remarked that he thought tension was over efforts to pardon numerous people.

Milley testified that On Jan. 6, former Vice President Mike Pence was very animated, very direct and very firm to get the military and the Guard down to put down the situation.

On the other hand, Milley described his conversation with former President Trump’s Chief of Staff Mark Meadows.

“He said we have to kill the narrative that the vice president is making all the decisions. We need to establish the narrative that the president is still in charge and that things are steady or stable or words to that effect.”

Milley said he immediately interpreted that as “politics, politics politics.”

“Red flag for me personally, no action. But I remember it distinctly,” Milley said.

In his deposition, Short said, “I think the vice president was proud of his four years of service… but I think he ultimately knew that his fidelity to the constitution was first and foremost.”
