The full timeline of Trump's known phone calls on the day of the January 6 insurrection

• The January 6 House committee's asked the DOJ to charge former President Donald Trump on Monday.
• White House call logs from January 6, 2021 show a 7-hour gap, CBS and The Washington Post reported.
• Here's the full timeline of Trump's known phone calls as recorded in official White House records.

Reconstructing the timeline of Donald Trump's phone calls, communications, and movements on January 6, 2021 was a key focus of the House select committee investigating the Capitol riot before the panel asked the DOJ to prosecute the former president.

The committee on Monday. recommended the Department of Justice charge Trump with conspiracy to defraud the United States, conspiracy to make false statements, obstruction of an official proceeding, and inciting an insurrection. The recommendation does not carry any legal weight, but the referral is a strong rebuke of Trump's actions on January 6.

The Washington Post and CBS previously obtained and reported on White House call logs and records secured by the Committee, documents that provide the most comprehensive timeline of Trump's known phone calls before and after the riots at the US Capitol.

But the official White House call logs contain a more than seven-hour gap between 11:17 am and 6:54 pm, a crucial stretch of time during which Trump openly pressured Vice President Mike Pence to overturn the 2020 election results in Congress, the president's supporters violently breached the Capitol, and Trump put out multiple tweets and videos about the events.

Here's the full timeline of Trump's communications on January 6 as documented in official White House call logs and records obtained by the January 6 committee and reported on by The Post and CBS.

Trump's documented phone calls on January 6, 2021:

• 8:34 am: Trump speaks to lawyer Kurt Olsen, who played a key role in legal efforts to overturn the 2020 election.

• 11:17 am: Trump speaks to "an unidentified person." A separate document turned over to the Committee from the National Archives indicates that Trump spoke to Sen. Kelly Loeffler of Georgia for three minutes at this time.

Trump spoke at the "Save America" rally at the Ellipse at noon and returned to the White House at 1:19 pm, according to White House records. After the Capitol was breached at around 2 pm, the next record in the president's daily diary is Trump going to the Rose Garden at 4:03 pm to record a video telling his supporters to "go home in love and peace."

Trump "returned to the Oval Office" at 4:07 pm, according to the records, and "went to the Second Floor Residence" at 6:27 pm.

Several of Trump's previously reported communications from January 6, including a call with House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy and Trump attempting to reach Sen. Tommy Tuberville but calling Sen. Mike Lee instead, do not appear in the official White House call logs, per CBS and The Post.

The Guardian also reported that Trump called Lee from an official White House phone number at 2:26 pm, during the seven-hour gap in call log records, but the call was not properly documented and recorded in the White House call logs.

New reports in CNN and Axios indicate, however, that the missing seven hours of records was perhaps not due to a deliberate coverup or tampering, but a function of Trump's phone habits and the Trump White House's inconsistent and shoddy record-keeping practices.

CNN reported that Trump developed a habit of placing calls directly from a landline or cell phone and not through the official White House switchboard while in the Oval Office. That tendency could explain why his calls from the Oval Office on the afternoon of January 6, unlike those later placed from the residence, didn't show up on the official White House call logs.

Axios further reported that Trump's then-executive assistant Molly Michael, who played a key role in documenting and keeping handwritten notes and records of Trump's daily schedule, calls, and meetings, was also out of office for most of January 6 — and when she arrived at work in the afternoon, the White House was already embroiled in chaos.

The Committee also probed whether Trump may have used aides' phones, burner phones, and other back channels to place and receive calls on January 6 that aren't documented in the official White House call logs and records from that day.

Trump, for his part, said in a statement to the Post and CBS that "I have no idea what a burner phone is, to the best of my knowledge I have never even heard the term."
