First transcripts from House January 6 committee reveal key witnesses refusing to testify.
The House select committee investigating the January 6, 2021, insurrection released more than 30 witness interview transcripts Wednesday from key figures who aided former President Donald Trump’s efforts to overturn the 2020 election, including the likes of conservative attorney John Eastman and one-time national security adviser Michael Flynn.
When a committee staffer said the panel was going to take a recess to go over the objections letter more closely, Clark and his attorney said they were going to leave the deposition instead. They did so, despite being instructed by the committee to stay while the recess was taken. During the second deposition, held in February 2022, Clark invoked the Fifth Amendment more than 120 times – including when asked if he had worked at the Justice Department on January 6, 2021.
