Who did what, where? Relationship maps make it easier to understand what’s going on.

“Cassidy Hutchinson, an aide to Trump chief of staff Mark Meadows, offered new details during June 28 testimony before the House Jan. 6 committee about what former President Donald Trump and Meadows knew in the days before the attack and how they responded while it was underway, including a first-hand account of the president’s frustration and an attack on security detail who told him they could not secure a trip to the Capitol amid the unfolding violence by rioters.” — PBS

This White House Activity Around Jan 6th relationship map was created with the free Kumu app in about a day. It includes information from many sources including text, images, videos, tweets and maps. it uses the floor plan of the White House as a backdrop to show the location of individuals. Some of the images represent meetings that took place at the White House about Jan 6th and are not the individuals’ actual offices. Other events took place externally such as at the Willard Hotel and in the Presidential motorcade.
