when i was a prosecutor you send out fbi agents or police to make arrests. one of the first things bad guys do, run to the toilet and start flushing. it is true and obvious why you would do that. and there s a specific january 6th angle to these concerns. cnn reported hours long gaps in the white house, call logs from january 6th. that to me, in addition to the documents, one of the things that people don t recognize i think enough is that it s not just trump doing these things. you have to have other staffers, other people helping him going around the law, that sort of thing, and having gaps in phone logs to me would indicate more than one person being involved. yes, the timing of that gap is so interesting, because in the morning, on the morning of january 6th, donald trump is using the white house phone and his calls are being logged on that white house log as they normally should be and then suddenly, right as the attack is happening, there s this gap and
documents. reporter: former white house national security adviser h.r. mcmaster told cnn that when he was in the white house, his staff had a foolproof system for their own record-keeping. the staff is running it well, everything that goes into the oval office is logged in, everything the president sees should be logged in. i can t speak about what happened there after i left. reporter: pamela brown, cnn, washington. our thanks to pamela brown. joining me senior legal annist len former federal prosecutor, ellie hoenig. trump is claiming he took the documents for the future library. pamela reported a top trump official told aides don t touch those boxes. you might not have the right security clearance so it appears that they were aware town there that they had sensitive documents, that they had potentially classified documents. what do you make of all this? what do you think is going on here? reporter: jim, it makes sense
law. we are all citizens. mr. trump, just as every other american citizen, is entitled to dignity. he s entitled to be treated fairly. he will be treated fairly in this jurisdiction but i plaen to do my job and my job is to make sure we get the evidence that gives us the truth. i m not concerned at all about games to delay this. mayor, how critical is this investigation, do you think? this is extremely important, and what people must know about bonnie willis is see is a seasoned prosecutor. she s not just an administrator. she was one of the top prosecutors in this office before she ran for district attorney, and so if she has asked that a special grand jury be impanelled, there is a reason for that. she knows how to build a case. she knows how to try a case, and again, when you look at where we are in georgia, what it means to the nation, what it means to the balance of power in the senate, all eyes will be on the state
