In Audio Recording, Kevin McCarthy Seems to Say He Planned to Urge President Trump to Resign Following Jan. 6 Capitol Riot

In an audio recording made public Thursday night, House Republican leader Kevin McCarthy seems to say he planned to urge former President Trump to resign following the Jan. 6 Capitol riot, after denying he said such just hours earlier.
The recording is reportedly of a House Republican conference call after the riot, which Trump critics say he incited, and before House and Senate impeachment votes that could have removed him from office.
It was released on MSNBC by the authors of the forthcoming book, “This Will Not Pass: Trump, Biden, and the Battle for America’s Future.”
