The meeting, which was highlighted during Tuesday's House January 6 committee hearing, was described as 'heated' and 'profane' by some of the participants and even devolved into 'challenges to physically fight.'
President Trump's former lawyer Rudy Giuliani, pro-Trump attorney Sidney Powell, former White House counsel Pat Cipollone and White House lawyer Eric Herschmann told the House Jan. 6 select committee in recorded testimony played during Tuesday's hearing about a"heated" and profane" six-hour White House meeting in mid-December 2020, during which Giuliani said he called White House officials"p***ies.
Cipollone said he walked in and saw Flynn and Powell."I was not happy to see the people who were in the Oval Office," he told the committee. He added,"the Overstock person — I didn't even know who this guy was ... I walked in, I looked at him, and I said, 'Who are you?'"In fact, Trump's advisers were there to talk about what their next course of action would be, the committee noted. Four days earlier, on Dec.
Cipollone and then-White House attorney Eric Herschmann pushed back at claims the election was stolen. Cipollone said Powell and others displayed a"general disregard" for backing up what they were saying. Herschmann said that he asked Powell about all of the election lawsuits she had lost. She claimed the judges were"corrupt.""'Every single case in the country?'" Every judge,"'even the ones we appointed?'" That, he said, was the nice version.
In his deposition, Giuliani characterized his comments as telling the White House aides,"'you guys are not tough enough.'"
