We think it’s safe to say Eric Trump and his wife Lara can both expect subpoenas from the January 6 committee after a bombshell new report claiming they communicated with insurrectionists on burner phones prior to the Capitol attack was just published by Rolling Stone.
According to the report, in the days leading up to the deady riot, Kylie Kremer, one of the top organizers for Donald Trump‘s “Save America” rally that preceded the violence, allegedly told people to use cash to buy burner phones so they could communicate directly with the Trump family and other White House officials.

The report claims the phones were used to have “high level” conversations with Eric and Lara, as well as former White House chief of staff Mark Meadows and Trump surrogate Katrina Pierson. An anonymous “March for Trump” team member tells the magazine, “[Kremer] needed burner phones in order to communicate with high level people is how she put it.”
How about we take this to the next level?

“They were planning all kinds of stuff, marches and rallies. Any conversation she had with the White House or Trump family took place on those phones.”
Rolling Stone reports:
Burner phones — cheap, prepaid cells designed for temporary usage — do not require users to have an account. This makes them hard to trace and ideal for those who are seeking anonymity — particularly if they are purchased with cash. The use of burner phones could make it more difficult for congressional investigators to find evidence of coordination between Trump’s team and rally planners.

Neither Kremer nor did any of Trump’s family members, Meadows, or Pierson have responded to the explosive report. But Twitter sure has a lot to say about it…
Donald Trump Jr: my girlfriend arranged the funding for January 6th
Eric Trump: hold my burner phone

Good morning to everyone who didn't use a burner phone to communicate with Jan 6th terrorists. Yep, looking at you Eric Trump.

Spokespeople for President Trump and Meadows also did not respond to a request for comment. Eric Trump, Lara Trump, and Pierson did not respond to requests for comment. pic.twitter.com/eCy0VI27kN

Burner phones were used by January 6 organizers to contact Eric Trump, Lara Trump, and Mark Meadows.
If you’re wondering where Donald Trump Jr was, he was looking for an extinguisher to put out his burner phone.

Remember *yesterday when Eric Trump randomly tweeted out about the Justice Department being corrupt and out of control and then today it comes out that he was using a burner phone to coordinate with Jan. 6th organizers.
Probably unrelated but ????????????????????

BREAKING: Lara and Eric trump used burner phones to communicate with organizers of the 1/6 insurrection. The January 6th Committee became suspicious when they saw communications between Eric and event organizers that couldn’t be traced back to his personal phone: pic.twitter.com/aPz4eYmqEx

Get a search warrant for Eric Trump’s home. He’s just stupid enough to still have the burner phone.

Mr. Stadnick
Who thought having Eric trump involved was a good idea? He can take a master evil plan and turn it into a hair brained scheme in a heart beat. Proving yet once again Tiffany is the smart one.
kennyatw
All of the Trump’s are liars, cheaters and crooked! They should be in jail and bending over ??!!
ShiningSex
I hope they all go to jail. Fake christians, fake patriots. True criminals.
dougie
I agree with your sentiment. But rich white people don’t go to jail because the entire justice system is built by them, for them.
groinpull
Would that apply to the Dementia Joe’s family? Especially Hunter Biden a true criminal.
Mack
@groinpull, I guess you’re the Trumptroll of the day. Nothing has been proven against Biden or his son including the faked laptop and everything else and Trump had at his disposal every investigative tool known to mankind, but he decided to use Lying Rudy.
TomG
To Dougie: That may be true but those same people dislike Trump with a passion so they want to see him in jail. Trump makes them all look bad and they want him out of the picture.
GreekKeys
Can you guys have a quick editorial meeting and all agree to stop running speculative, click-bait nonsense stories about all the things that COULD happen? If there’s be one story about ANY member of the Drumpf family “going down”, going to jail, 100% screwed, etc. there have been a thousand. When will you learn to stop “reporting” things that haven’t happened and won’t happen. Just stop it. Tell us when something happens. You make The Gay Press look like idiots. Not that that is difficult.
cc423
Business Insider, Rolling Stone, Daily Beast, The Hill, The Independent, Vice and plenty of other non-gay news organizations are “reporting” this very same news.
Mr. Stadnick
This is a poorly written and edited glorified blog. Nothing written is actually real news much of it is speculation or cut and paste from other sources. Read it have a laugh and move on to another source for news. This is silly fluff nothing more.

You do realize that nothing on Queerty is NOT mandatory reading right? It is very easy to look past or simply ignore those articles and opinions that are of no interest to you. No foul, no penalty.
Cam
Can you have a talk with all of your screenames and tell them that attacking Queerty doesn’t deflect from the actual topic?
The Trumps apparently participated in an attempt to overthrow the government.
Fahd
Rolling Stone is pretty reliable when it comes to this sort of story. The Republicans would like to “put January 6th behind us”, but unfortunately that willful amnesia is associated with increasingly blind loyalty to the Trump party line – American democracy is in real danger. We need the January 6th committee’s investigation now more than ever.
Chip
This can be 100% true and more and nothing at all will happen. They need to just stop this fake investigation and get on with doing things for the country. We all know that politicians are above the law and nothing at all will happen with any information found. The only thing that this investigation has done is allow Queerty to have many articles with headline grabs like “if you are so and so your week just got bad” and the like.
RoughRugger
Y’know, the funny thing (funny peculiar, not funny haha) is that Mary Trump says Don Jr. is actually “The Stupid One”
nm4047
there doesn’t appear to be any evidence to support the reported usage. Anyone can make an allegation, but providing the necessary proof is the first point of order. Nothing is likely to result from this publications story.
Cam
You mean except for multiple participants saying that there is evidence.
Stop trolling.
mcflyer54
This family consists of morons from top to bottom. They are so stupid that if they hold a contest to determine which of them is the dumbest the losers would scream it was rigged and demand a recount.
cuteguy
No wonder that gold digger Lara has been so quiet lately. I just thought she was getting more plastic surgery. And her walking vegetable meal ticket was getting a brain transplant
winemaker
When i got up this morning i thought i was still in America where everyone can have their opinion and say pretty much what ‘s on their mind even if it goes against someone else’s opinions without repercussion, evidently not. For those of you who think things have gotten way out of hand and want to see your comments and ideas only and want to ban or outright silence opposite thoughts and opinions, go live in any of the socialist ‘utopias’ where what you say can brings the police to your door in the middle of the night. For those of you clueless of such places, i suggest china, russia or for as real as it gets, north korea. BTW: those of you who think joey and heels up are doing a bang up job of things, you need to get your heads out of your asses and wake up and smell the coffee unless you love inflation, an unsecure southern border and the supply chain miasma right before the busiest shopping season of the year. coincidently
seadrian
@whinemaker, you forgot to mention that inflation started way back in 2018. It was in all the papers, you must have missed it. Trump started a failed trade war and placed tariffs on imported goods. That made costs go up and the GDP to go down.
Ask Liz Cheney how the GOP has reacted to her thoughts that they didn’t agree with. Maybe you should look into North Korea.
Cam
Hi Sweetie, I already pointed out to your other screenames multiple times that trying to deflect the topic won’t work.
The fact that you are desperate to deflect from the fact that one of the Trump’s may have aided in an attempt to overthrow the government shows you are just as anti-American as they are.
Your trolling is sad and weak.
samaneabkk
This is really a bit dramatic. Isn’t it?
jaimedance3
Can we get through at least 1 holiday where that moronic family is not mentioned on your website because personally a lot of the LGBT community that follows your website don’t give a rat’s ass about hearing about this family ever again!
Ginger Tom
People like that never go to jail, no matter what.
