What phone was Trump calling these senators on, and why wasn’t it logged? Surely several US Senators could help the committee figure it out.

The Jan. 6 Committee drags Josh Hawley.

The Committee plays Hawley running out of the Capitol, just hours after he raised his fist in solidarity with them.

"Later that day, Senator Hawley fled after those protestors he helped to rile up stormed the Capitol."
