Transportation Secretary Elaine Chao told investigators she announced her resignation the day after the Jan. 6, 2021, riot because the events that day were so shocking that “it was impossible for me to continue.”
“I believe in this country. I believe in the peaceful transfer of power. I believe in democracy,” she said, according to a transcript.

Donald Trump told then-White House counsel Pat Cipollone and his deputy, Pat Philbin, that they were complicit in a “coup” for not backing his false claims of systematic voter fraud, Cipollone told the House committee.
The president leveled that accusation in a meeting in which Cipollone and Philbin expressed their opposition to naming Jeffrey Clark, an environmental lawyer at the Justice Department, as the acting attorney general. #january6threport #jan6report #jan6thtranscripts #patcipollone
After the 2020 election, then-Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) asked Attorney General William P. Barr, “How far is the President going to take this?’
