Trump, meanwhile, remained in the White House dining room, where he watched the attack unfold in real time for more than two hours.

Were you joined in that effort by Ivanka Trump?” lawyers for the committee asked former White House counsel Pat Cipollone.“Eric Herschmann?” the lawyer asked in reference to the former White House lawyer.“And Mark Meadows?” the lawyers asked regarding Trump’s former chief of staff.
