“In the days and hours before the Jan. 6 Capitol attack, diehard Donald Trump allies gathered at Washington’s Willard Hotel, hunkered down as the last-ditch efforts to overturn the 2020 election went forward. What exactly they were doing in those meetings was a subject of intense interest for Congress’ Jan. 6 investigation, but the committee ran into the limits of its powers as it struggled to reconstruct the specifics of those eleventh-hour meetings,” Rolling Stone reports.
“Now, special counsel Jack Smith’s office is taking its shot, hoping to figure out exactly what went down in the Willard ‘war room’ — and just how involved Trump himself was in the Willard-based efforts to stop the transfer of power to then president-elect Joe Biden.”
“Special counsel investigators are grilling witnesses about the crucial Willard meetings.”
