While media attention is currently focused on the salacious details of former President Donald Trump's hush-money scheme with adult film star Stormy Daniels, one former Trump official believes the American public is getting robbed of the more salient trial that could expose his actions related to the deadly Jan. 6 Capitol riot.
"I'm devastated," said Alyssa Farah Griffin, who worked as Trump's White House Communications Director during a CNN appearance in which she revealed how she texts with fellow officials who worked at the pleasure of the president before he was voted out of office in 2020.

They are collectively frustrated in their text thread that Americans may go to the ballot box on November 5 having only been able to evaluate Trump on his garish falsifying business records trial — and be shortchanged from a far more significant election subversion verdict.
"I've got a text thread with former Trump White House officials who testified against him in January 6," she told Jake Tapper on "The Lead." "And we just are stunned that this is the case we're getting before the election."
The House Jan. 6 Committee spent a year and a half to build a final report having logged more than 1,000 interviews with witnesses. The panel pushed for criminal prosecution.
Griffin believes much of that evidence, not to mention the kinds of testimony from the mouths of former Vice President Mike Pence and former Chief of Staff Mark Meadows among others would have been game-changing.
"That with all the evidence that was done, the Committee work that Department of Justice — it's very likely the public will not get a resolution on the January 6 charges ahead of the election," said Griffin. "It is so for much more important than anything that's been debated in this courtroom today and it also is what would have influence with voters."
The federal criminal case is on ice until the Supreme Court rules on whether or not they subscribe to Trump's personal belief that as president he is untouchable from criminal prosecution.
