According to newly leaked audio, Kevin McCarthy told two police officers from Jan. 6 that Donald Trump was unaware that his supporters were attacking the Capitol that day.
U.S. House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., speaks to a South Carolina GOP fundraising dinner on Friday, July 29, 2022, in Columbia, S.C. According to newly leaked audio obtained by CNN, McCarthy told two police officers from Jan. 6 that Donald Trump was unaware that his supporters were attacking the U.S. Capitol that day.
McCarthy's remarks contradict findings from the House Select Committee investigating the Jan. 6 attack, which said earlier this year that Trump"gleefully"as rioters stormed the Capitol and fought with law enforcement officers. Washington, D.C. is a single-party consent jurisdiction for recordings, meaning one person can legally record another without their knowledge. Fanone told CNN that he recorded McCarthy during the meeting because he expected the minority leader would lie to the officers or dispute Fanone's account of his comments after his book was released.
"[I recorded it] because I didn’t expect Kevin McCarthy to, No. 1, tell the truth; No. 2, recount the conversation accurately; and No. 3, I wanted to show people how indifferent lawmakers are, not just Republican lawmakers, but all lawmakers, to the actual American people that they are representing,” he said, according to the CNN report.
