What has gone unmentioned in this charging indictment?
It’s one of the more intriguing mysteries about the new Trump indictment: Why are details about Trump’s call with McCarthy on Jan. 6 unsourced? What could it mean?
Shortly after the indictment was unsealed, McCarthy posted a statement about the Hunter Biden saga and called the indictment “DOJ’s attempt to distract from the news and attack the frontrunner for the Republican nomination, President Trump.”
While McCarthy knows what was said on that phone call—and said a week after Jan. 6 that Trump “bears responsibility” for the attack on the Capitol—McCarthy quickly mended his relationship with Trump and has stood in the way of any sort of accountability for the former president and his actions surrounding the insurrection.
But according to Herrera Beutler, McCarthy immediately blamed Trump for Jan. 6. She recalled the briefing on a podcast in February 2021.
“He called the president and said, ‘Hey, you basically need to get on TV, you need to call these people off,’” she said on the podcast. “And the president’s response to him was, ‘These aren’t my people, these are Antifa.’”
“Kevin, to his credit, responded, ‘No, they just came through my window, my staff are running, these are your people, they have MAGA hats on,’” Herrera Beutler continued.
“And the president’s response to him was, ‘Well, Kevin, I guess they are just more concerned about this election than you are,’” she said.
That closely tracks with the call’s description in the indictment. (Beutler, who has since become a fellow at Harvard University’s Kennedy School of Government, did not reply to an interview request.)
But that was not the last that the public heard of the phone call. The House Jan. 6 Committee extensively explored the call and the events of that day. They described the phone conversation this way:
“Multiple witnesses told the Select Committee that Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy contacted the President and others around him, desperately trying to get him to act. McCarthy’s entreaties led nowhere. ‘I guess they’re just more upset about the election theft than you are,’ President Trump told McCarthy.”
But as time went on, McCarthy adopted a different version of the events that day.
He changed his story when discussing the matter with Michael Fanone, who defended the Capitol and left the Metropolitan Police Department after suffering injuries during the attack. Fanone confronted McCarthy during a private meeting, saying that, “While you were on the phone with him, I was getting the shit kicked out of me, almost losing my life.”
To which McCarthy replied: “I’m just telling you from my phone call, that, I don’t know that he did know that.”
(McCarthy has flipped) OP's opinion
