A key Trump administration official interrogated for five hours by the House Jan. 6 committee is calling on the Democrat-led panel to release his interview transcript, saying investigators spent more time questioning him on military matters like President Biden's bungled Afghanistan withdrawal than the Capitol riots.
Former Pentagon chief of staff Kash Patel told Just the News that one of the key pieces of evidence he provided the committee was a detailed timeline of every step the Pentagon took to prepare for the Jan. 6 protests, the offers of help it made to Congress and what it did to deploy National Guard troops during the attack.
But, Patel said, the congressional investigators showed little interest in the timeline.
"I was in there for five hours, answered every question they asked," Patel said in an interview aired Wednesday on the John Solomon Reports podcast. "Because I have nothing to hide, and I want the truth to come out.
"And let me just say this. They didn't even bring it up, I don't recall, the timeline. I had to submit it to them and the Inspector General, I had to submit to them. And I was prepared to go in depth into those documents. And we scarcely spent a minute or two on them in those five hours."
