Former White House Press Secretary Stephanie Grisham told the House January 6th Committee that former President Donald Trump held secret meetings in the days before Congress met to count the electoral votes the day of the Capitol riot, according to a new report.
The panel has revealed an increasing interest in Trump's 'state of mind' on and leading up to Jan. 6th as it seeks to reconstruct the events around the Capitol riot. Grisham, a longtime Trump aide who was part of his 2016 presidential campaign, was in a position to ascertain who was coming into and out of the White House at that time. She had transitioned to become chief of staff to First Lady Melania Trump.
The panel's interview with Grisham was more productive than expected, sources told the Guardian, which reported Grisham said Trump chief of staff Mark Meadows scheduled the meetings, and former chief usher Timothy Harleth would waive guests into the meetings.
