WASHINGTON — Former White House Counsel Pat Cipollone arrived Friday for his closed-door testimony before the House committee investigating last year’s insurrection at the U.S. Capitol.
The committee wants Cipollone’s first-hand accounts about a range of activities involving former President Donald Trump and his inner circle before and during the Jan. 6 riot, including legal and other concerns he raised.
Cipollone’s interview is taking place in a government office building less than a quarter-mile from the Capitol that has served as the committee’s base of operations. He arrived through the garage, dressed in a dark suit and striped blue and red tie, flanked by two other people.
