WASHINGTON — Mick Mulvaney, who was the acting White House chief of staff for President Donald Trump, testified Thursday before the House committee investigating the Jan. 6 riot.
Mulvaney, the acting chief of staff in 2019 and early 2020, arrived for his closed-door deposition with the committee around 1:40 p.m. and departed 2½ hours later.
As he was leaving, reporters asked Mulvaney whether he was in contact with anyone from the White House from December 2020 to January 2021. "I haven’t talked to anybody in the White House in a long time," he responded, without elaborating.
Earlier in the day, Mulvaney told reporters he would tell the committee "the truth" when he was asked what he would say during the deposition.
When Trump tapped Mark Meadows to replace Mulvaney as chief of staff, he appointed Mulvaney, a former House member from South Carolina who was also the director of the Office of Management and Budget, as the U.S. special envoy to Northern Ireland.
Mulvaney told CNBC he resigned from that role on the night of the Capitol riot. "I called [then-Secretary of State] Mike Pompeo last night to let him know I was resigning from that. I can’t do it. I can’t stay,” he said Jan. 7, 2021, in an interview on "Squawkbox."
“Those who choose to stay, and I have talked with some of them, are choosing to stay because they’re worried the president might put someone worse in."
Three sources familiar with the plans said earlier Thursday that Mulvaney was expected to sit for a taped deposition with the committee.

Was he waterboarded too or did they just pump him full of “disinformation”?
I don’t think he had to be water boarded. I think he’s a traitor and from what I’ve heard him say he hates Trump probably stabbed him in the back as hard as he could.
I don’t think he has too much future in politics if he did that but perhaps he has other ideas. He is better than us you know.
“[On] January 28th, 2020, President Trump has made the decision but not yet announced that he would pull down travel from communist China, and he’s been very serious about this,” he shared. “Basically, at that point, three people in the White House who were deeply concerned about the pandemic [are] the boss, it’s Robert O’Brien’s, the national security adviser, and myself.”
Former White House Chief of Staff Mick Mulvaney and former Director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CSC) Robert Redfield obstructed Trump’s intent to implement a “travel ban” to prevent coronavirus transmission in the U.S. from abroad, Navarro shared.

The kangaroo committee wants to talk to Mulvaney but not Bolton? Theye refused to CA Bolton in the past. Have they called him for this?
In Feb 2020 Mulvaney went to the UK and told them the US was desperate immigrants... By that he may have meant illegal immigrants.
Just wondering because the two were at odds in the admin.
I see a book deal coming called “All the President’s Backstabbing Men.”
So, who isn’t a traitor?
I guess executive privilege is dead
These days it takes three NBC News people to do what one did. "Make work" for the liberals?
Another hand picked disloyal employee. It is a wonder that Trump hired anyone who wasn’t disloyal. It’s beginning to sound like The Cain Mutiny.

“I don’t think he had to be water boarded. I think he’s a traitor and from what I’ve heard him say he hates Trump probably stabbed him in the back as hard as he could.”
Mulvaney was a SNAKE and that goes back to at least 2006, when he was leading the charge to line up conservatives to support Bush’s hair-brained AMNESTY program. Trump’s people could have spent one hour watching Frontline (on PBS) and known that.
They didn’t.
I keep hearing about the January 6th committee. Is that still going on and if so how long is that going to last? Are they going to do it all the way to election day?
Are they really that transparent?
The Trump HR department certainly needed a different set of advisers. I think he’s got that handled now. Hopefully it’s not too little too late.
I always put Mick Mulvaney with Trey Gowdy. Can’t stand the side of using one of them.
Being D.C. the Jan. 6 committee has a lot of or else items on their agenda wait until it’s their turn on the stand.
Let the good times roll
