Raskin Confirms: Jan. 6 Committee Is 'Aware of' Call from White House to Rioter During Insurrection
https://www.rollingstone.com/politics/politics-news/raskin-confirms-jan-6-committee-aware-call-white-house-rioter-1234599644/"We are aware of lots of contacts between the people in the White House and different people that were involved in the coup attempt and the insurrection," the congressman said
JAN. 6 COMMITTEE member Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-Md.) confirmed a bombshell claim by Denver Riggleman, a former Republican member of Congress, who said the panel knew the White House switchboard placed a call to a Capitol rioters phone while the insurrection was ongoing.
While interviewing Raskin on NBCs Meet the Press on Sunday, host Chuck Todd referenced an upcoming 60 Minutes episode featuring an interview with Riggleman where the former representative said that the White House switchboard had connected to a rioters phone while its [the Jan. 6 riot] happening.
Thats a pretty big a-ha moment, Riggleman added. He went on to say that he knows which rioter the White House contacted, although he was not aware of who at the White House placed the call. Riggleman has authored a book that promises a behind-the-scenes look at the committees work. It is scheduled to publish on Tuesday.

Why wouldn't the J6 committee want that reporting to get out. There has been no mention from them about this. Is there an adversarial reaction here?
