The mystery call was revealed by former Jan. 6 committee staffer and ex-Rep. Denver Riggleman, in an interview on CBS News’ “60 Minutes“ on Sunday.
A Brooklyn man who stormed the Capitol on Jan. 6 has been identified as the recipient of a mysterious nine-second phone call from the White House placed during the riot.
Riggleman, who is promoting his new book about the committee’s work, framed the call as a smoking gun that Trump or someone on his team was cheering on the attack in real time. But investigators and members of the Jan. 6 committee reportedly downplayed that claim, noting that Lunyk says he doesn’t know anything about the call and doesn’t know Trump or anyone on his staff.Federal prosecutors allege that Lunyk came to Washington, D.C., “for the chaos” with his friends, Francis Connor and Antonio Ferrigno.
