No sheets are missing from the six pages of White House switchboard logs from Jan. 6, 2021, a review of the executive branch office’s records found.
“There are no missing pages and the seven hour gap is likely explained by use of White House landlines, White House cell phones and personal cell phones that do not go through the switchboard, [Jamie Gangel] reports,” CNN reporter Zachary Cohen wrote on social media.

The nearly eight hours of missing phone logs came from records obtained by the House Jan. 6 committee from the National Archives. The gap in former President Donald Trump’s phone logs lasted seven hours and 37 minutes on the day of the Capitol riot.
John Bolton, a national security adviser under Trump, claimed he recalled Trump discussing on multiple occasions burner phones as a means of avoiding interested parties scrutinizing calls. Trump denied Bolton’s claim Monday, saying he does not know what a burner phone is and has “never even heard the term.”

Bolton pushed back against Trump’s claim Thursday, saying the former president was familiar with burner phones.
“The former President’s acquaintance with the truth is often very casual, and I think this is a good example of it.”
