New Jan. 6 witness: Trump had mystery call with Putin
If documentary filmmaker Alex Holder’s memory is accurate, Donald Trump
was on the phone with Vladimir Putin just minutes after the news broke
that the Russian president had dismissed Trump’s Hunter Biden
allegations. Holder began filming former President Donald Trump in
September 2020 during his campaign for reelection. In the runup to the
election and continuing after they left office, Holder had extensive
access to film and interview Trump, his inner circle and former Vice
President Mike Pence.
The House select committee investigating Jan. 6 recently sent a subpoena
to Holder for raw footage related to interviews and discussions Holder
recorded, as well as raw footage from Jan. 6 when Holder and his
cameraman were there filming as the mob attacked the Capitol. On
Thursday, shortly after Holder finished talking to Jan. 6 investigators,
Ryan Lizza met Holder at his hotel. On this week’s Playbook Deep Dive,
Holder talks about what it’s like behind the scenes filming Trumpworld,
the significance of his project and potential impact of the footage
subpoenaed by the Jan. 6 Committee.
