Former Trump national security adviser Robert O'Brien interviewed by Jan. 6 committee
O’Brien had been among a small group of then-President Donald Trump’s top officials to acknowledge Joe Biden’s election victory.
August 23 2022
The House committee investigating the Jan. 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol interviewed former national security adviser Robert O’Brien on Tuesday,two sources familiar with the panel’s work said.
O'Brien had been among a small group of then-President Donald Trump’s top officials to acknowledge Joe Biden’s election victory, saying in November 2020 that the National Security Council was preparing for “a very professional transition.”
O'Brien's former deputy, Matthew Pottinger, testified before the panel at a public hearing last month. Pottinger resigned after the Capitol riot but stayed on overnight at O'Brien's request because O'Brien was returning from a trip.
O’Brien was initially scheduled to be interviewed by the panel earlier this month.
The committee has been trying to find out more about what top Trump administration officials knew about the former president’s intentions on Jan. 6, 2021, and whether Cabinet members discussed invoking the 25th Amendment to the Constitution to remove him from office afterward,a source saidthis month. The panel interviewed former Transportation Secretary Elaine Chao this month. Chao, the wife of Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., also resigned after the violence at the Capitol.
At the panel's last public hearing, in July, Rep. Liz Cheney, R-Wyo., said she expected the committee would resume hearings toward the fall.
“We have far more evidence to share and more to gather,” Cheney saidthen. “So our committee will spend August pursuing emerging information on multiple fronts before convening further hearings this September."

Carolyn Maloney’spanda questcould end with Democratic primary loss
August 23, 2022
Rep. Carolyn Maloney’s panda-monium could be coming to an end.
The veteran congresswoman has spent her time in office pushing to bring pandas to the Central Park Zoo, following a 2014 trip to China — but after Tuesday’s primary, she could find herself out of a job.
“I fell in love with Han Han,” she told The Post, referring to the beast that sparked her bizarre obsession.
“He’s the perfect age. He grabbed my hand! He held my hand!”
Two years later, the embattled Democratic incumbent — who faces a tough race for the newly drawn 12th Congressional District against Rep. Jerrold Nadler and attorney Suraj Patel — told the New York Times, “After the financial crisis, 9/11, Hurricane Sandy, it’s about time to have something happy.
“Let’s have a panda.”
But to this day, Maloney, who sought to bring Han Han to the Big Apple to procreate, has failed to make good on her quest.
Chinese officials do not part with the endangered furries easily and their upkeep would likely cost a zoo millions of dollars per year at minimum, the Times reported.
And then there was the pushback she got from conservationists, like the Wildlife Conservation Society, which appealed to City Hall to kill her mission.
“I think a statement saying that we appreciate her passion but we are not interested in pandas would be helpful,” the official said, the Times reported.
“Clearly she doesn’t hear it when we say it to her respectfully.”
Central Park Zoo workers weren’t convinced, either.
“Where would they go? They would be encroaching on the space of the snow leopards, and that’s our biggest attraction,” a Central Park Zoo worker told The Post in 2016.
While City Hall reportedly balked at supporting her efforts, Maloney continued courting support on both sides of the Pacific.
She attended events held by Chinese officials in New York City and Washington, DC, such as the 2016 “Panda Night” at the official embassy of the communist authoritarian nation, who Maloney has criticized over human rights violations in place like Hong Kong, the Daily Beast reported earlier this summer.
Big names like former AIG CEO Maurice “Hank” Greenberg and grocery magnate John Catsimatidis got involved by forming a nonprofit called The Pandas Are Coming to NYC, according to The Daily Beast.
Success with pandas would have been another accomplishment in the storied congressional career of the House Oversight Committee chair, who played big roles in delivering federal support for 9/11 survivors and the Second Avenue subway since first winning election in 1992.
Yet some political insiders say her pursuit of pandas was among the topics that undermined her politically, along with her past comments about vaccines and theatrical flourishes — like the time she donned a burqa on the House floor.
“She’s a gimmick politician,” one Manhattan Democrat told The Post earlier in the campaign“Whether it’s wearing an FDNY jacket or, my gosh, promoting pandas in Central Park. Everything is a gimmick. And it doesn’t go any deeper than that. I’m not saying she’s a bad person. I just think she’s extremely shallow and not thoughtful"==
While the panda effort came close to succeeding in later years, Maloney has never managed to seal the deal — and a loss Tuesday night would mean she loses the congressional power to help make her dream a reality.
Nadler appears to have the edge going into the final day of voting — with an Emerson College/PIX11/The Hill poll released last week showing him with 43% support compared to 24% for Maloney and 14% for Patel.
A recent endorsement by US Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer recently endorsed Nadler while hardly taking the fighting spirit out of Maloney, who has leaned on her legacy as a feminist warrior in her campaign against Nadler.
“We are leaving it ALL on the field,” she tweeted Tuesday

Rep. Jerry Nadler knocks off Carolyn Maloney after bitter NY-12 battle
August 23, 2022
Rep. Jerry Nadler was projected to cruise to victory in Tuesday’s contentious Democratic primary to represent New York’s 12th Congressional District, ousting longtime incumbent Rep. Carolyn Maloney after three decades in office to the dismay her longtime supporters.
As a celebratory Nadler addressed boosters on the Upper West Side Tuesday night, the mood at the Maloney party in Chelsea turned mutinous, as her supporters booed and jeered the House Judiciary Committee chair’s televised speech, with some yelling “Traitor!”
With almost two-thirds of the district’s vote scanners reporting, Nadler had 55.9% of the vote compared to just 25.1% for Maloney. Attorney Suraj Patel, who was challenging Maloney for a third consecutive cycle, had 17.8%.
Nadler said both Rep. Carolyn Maloney and Suraj Patel called him tonight to concede defeat.
He praised Patel as an “exceptionally bright and committed young leader” and thanked Maloney for her “decades of service to our city,” adding that they spent much of their “adult lives working together.”
New York’s controversial redistricting process pitted the two longtime allies —Nadler, 75, of the Upper West Side, andMaloney, 76, of the Upper East Side — against one other, sparking bad feelings that marred a 30-year career in the House.
The contest got extra-ugly in the final weeks before primary day, as Maloney raged that Nadler was “lying” by taking credit for delivering funding for the Second Avenue subway.
She also hit him for remaining loyal to former city Comptroller Scott Stringer, even after he was accused of sexually harassing two women — an allegation that torpedoed Stringer’s mayoral bid last year.
Maloney then quoted a Post editorial that mocked Nadler as “this close to senile” for forgetting who he helped impeach as chair of the House Judiciary Committee.
“I think that you should read the editorial in the New York Post today,” Maloney told NY1 on Saturday, slamming Nadler for forgetting that he impeached ex-President George W. Bush “twice” — when he really meant former President Donald Trump.
“They call him ‘senile,’” said Maloney.
Nadler, meanwhile, largely remained above the fray in the campaign’s final days, and received a boost with endorsements from the New York Times and Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer.
When Nadler was heard thanking Schumer for his endorsement, one woman at Maloney’s party yelled: “He’s going too!”
“The New York Times endorsement never seems to fail in the heart of Manhattan,” another Maloney supporter said. “It was a pretty clear across the board victory for Jerry Nadler.”We lost one of our biggest gender justice champions in Congress,” one time 2020 primary challenger to Maloney and co-founder of the Sexual Harassment Working Group Erica Vladimer told The Post.
