Trump revealed that he offered the two “privilege,” but said they declined.
The 45th president told the paper that he has not been contacted by the committee yet, noting that he is not sure what he would do if they ever do.
“It depends on what the request is,” Trump said.
Throughout the committee’s investigation of the riot, Trump has repeatedly claimed executive privilege over documents and records in an attempt to block the panel from reviewing them.
However, in January, the Supreme Court declined to block the release of such documents – which include presidential diaries, visitor logs, drafts of speeches, and more.
Last month, the committee revealed that among the documents were White House phone records which show a more than seven-and-a-half hour gap in calls from the executive office, despite public records of Trump making calls with lawmakers during that time frame.
Trump told The Post on Wednesday that he did not destroy any call logs from that day and did not use any “burner phones” to make calls.
“From the standpoint of telephone calls, I don’t remember getting very many,” the former president said.
Why would I care about who called me? If congressmen were calling me, what difference did it make? There was nothing secretive about it. There was no secret,” he later added.
Trump confirmed that he spoke with House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.), Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) and multiple other people, adding that he has a “very good memory.”
Public reports also reveal that Trump accidentally called Sen. Mike Lee (R-Utah.), believing he was contacting Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-Ala.) during the call log gap.
