Former White House counsel Pat Cipollone had been a sought-after witness for the Jan. 6 panel after bombshell testimony revealed his apparently desperate and last-ditch efforts to prevent Trump’s actions.
The private interview took place after a surprise committee hearing earlier this month when former White House aide Cassidy Hutchinson described Cipollone's repeated efforts to stop former President Donald Trump from joining the mob at the Capitol.
The conservative lawyer who defended Trump during his first impeachment trial, was on Capitol Hill to testify about his role in trying to prevent his boss from challenging the 2020 presidential results and joining the violent mob that attacked Capitol Hill.
