into the former president’s role in the Capitol riots is moving forward, according to a report.
The discussions with the Washington DC US Attorney’s office and lead Jan. 6 prosecutor Thomas Windom have revolved around whether Trump could use executive privilege to block conversations he had while in the White House,The DOJ reportedly declined to comment, while Trump’s team blasted the notion the conversations could be used to incriminate him.
