WASHINGTON — Donald Trump’s former White House counsel, Pat Cipollone, spent roughly seven hours Friday giving closed-door testimony before the House committee investigating last year’s insurrection at the U.S. Capitol.
Rep. Zoe Lofgren, a California Democrat and member of the committee, told CNN that “I think he was candid with the committee, he was careful in his answers, and I believe he was honest in his answers.”
Cipollone arrived before 10 a.m. and left at 5:15 p.m., taking periodic breaks. He departed through a garage without making any statement. His lawyers declined to comment.
