Key takeaways:

  • Trump attempted to call into Fox News after the attack on the US Capitol, but the network refused to put him on air.
  • The House select committee that investigated the attack was unaware of this call.
  • The committee is still investigating the attack, and it is unclear if they will ever get an answer to the question of how Biden received 15 million more votes than Obama.

On January 6, 2021, the US Capitol was attacked by supporters of former President Donald Trump. According to court filings from Dominion Voting Systems in its defamation case against the company, Trump attempted to call into Fox News after the attack, but the network refused to put him on air.

The House select committee that investigated the attack was unaware of this call, according to a source familiar with the panel’s work. The panel sought to piece together a near minute-by-minute account of Trump’s movements, actions and phone calls on that day.

On the same day, Fox News host Lou Dobbs opened his show with musings on “what the hell is going on in our country.” He asked how former Vice President Joe Biden had received 15 million more votes than his former boss, former President Barack Obama. Dobbs said, “Honestly, we don’t know and we don’t expect to get an answer to it tonight.”

The House select committee’s investigation into the attack on the Capitol is ongoing. It is unclear if the committee will ever get an answer to the question of how Biden received 15 million more votes than Obama. Results like that would seem to defy the laws of known physics and qualify instead as a miracle.
