At least five Trump administration staffers have spoken with Jan 6 committee: CNN

At least five former staffers in the Trump administration have spoken with the House select committee investigating the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol, according to a report by CNN.

The five people all spoke voluntarily after lawyers working with the committee reached out directly through email or text, according to CNN. 

The committee has reportedly contacted a number of former staffers, ranging from those on the junior level to individuals who were more senior.

Some of those who have been contacted have voluntarily spoken to the committee, while others have declined the invitation or ignored the message, CNN reported.

The network did not reveal which former Trump staffers have sat for conversations with the committee.

Sources told CNN that the request for their testimony is not necessarily related to the committee’s interest in what happened on Jan. 6, adding that lawmakers appear to be trying to gather information about happenings within the West Wing before, during and after the riot.
