Trump WH Counsel Cipollone Gives Jan. 6 Testimony, New Info

Cipollone was sought as a witness after testimony about his efforts to stop Trump from challenging election results and from joining the Capitol mob.

Former White House counsel Pat Cipollone "did not contradict" testimony of previous witnesses as he appeared Friday before the Jan. 6 committee, a grueling daylong private session that produced new information to be divulged in future public hearings, one lawmaker said.

Cipollone was a highly sought-after witness, especially after bombshell testimony that he tried to prevent Donald Trump from challenging the 2020 election results and worked to stop the defeated president from joining the violent mob that laid siege to the Capitol, they said.

"He did not contradict the testimony of other witnesses," Rep. Zoe Lofgren, D-Calif., said late Friday on CNN.
