me on January 6th.
Q And apart from Mr. Cipollone and Mr. Meadows, did any White House official attempt to call you directly on January 6th?
A No. We had a call from the Situation Room, so that was operated out of the White House, but there were no other officials reaching out to me that I'm aware of.
Q Who was in the Situation Room at the White House? Do you remember?
A I don't. This call, this 1800 call, this did not have the congressional leadership on it. And I don't believe the Vice President was on that call either. It was more of, I think, a law enforcement-level call.
Q If we could just go through what you briefed them on in that 1800 call, that would be helpful.
A So these notes I have in exhibit 54 titled Prep for 1800 Situation Room Call, I made these notes to myself a few minutes in advance of the 1800 call because I wanted to make sure that I covered each of these points.
So I made this list with Dave Bowdich and Ashan Benedict and some of the Capitol Police officers with me to make sure I wasn't missing any key information.
I ran through the list. I prepared it. When the 1800 call started out of the Situation Room, they turned it to me first. That's why I have the first entry there as, "See call prep notes." And I, essentially, read this list, and I briefed them on what the situation was.
And then the call continued from there with other people chiming in about perimeter fencing. General Hokansen, H-o-k-a-n-s-e-n, talked about the D.C. National Guard role and things like that.
Q Before we move on from the 6 p.m. and the 7 p.m. call on January 6th—and just so I'm clear, you're still at the Capitol at that time. Is that right, Mr. Donoghue?
