前总统唐纳德·特朗普(Donald Trump)在白宫的私人助理尼克·卢纳(Nick Luna)周一几乎出现在调查1月6日事件的众议院特别委员会面前国会大厦袭击，多个消息来源告诉ABC新闻。
卢娜曾在白宫西翼担任特朗普的贴身男仆，最初于11月被该委员会传唤。去年12月，他获准短暂延期，但在周一的虚拟露面之前，他曾与该委员会接触过。
该小组表示，1月6日，卢娜与前总统在一起，当天早上特朗普打电话给前副总统迈克·彭斯，敦促彭斯不要认证2020年大选的结果时，卢娜就在附近。
委员会发言人拒绝对证人出庭发表评论。
该委员会已经从彭斯的国家安全顾问、退役中将基思·凯洛格(Keith Kellogg)那里获得了特朗普1月6日与彭斯通话的第一手资料。

根据卢娜与特朗普的接触程度，卢娜在委员会的证词可能会进一步揭示特朗普当天的精神状态。

Former Trump personal assistant appears before Jan. 6 committee
Former President Donald Trump's personal assistant in the White House, Nick Luna, appeared virtually on Monday before the House select committee investigating the Jan. 6Capitol attack, multiple sources tell ABC News.
Luna, who served as Trump's body man in the West Wing, was initially subpoenaed by the committee in November. He was granted a short postponement in December but previously engaged with the committee before Monday's virtual appearance.
The panel said Luna was with the former president on Jan. 6, and was nearby when Trump called former Vice President Mike Pence that morning and urged Pence not to certify the results of the 2020 election.
A committee spokesperson declined to comment on witness appearances.
The committee already has firsthand knowledge of Trump's Jan. 6 phone call with Pence from retired Lt. Gen. Keith Kellogg, who served as Pence's national security adviser.
Depending on how much contact Luna had with Trump, Luna's testimony to the committee could shed further light on Trump's state of mind that day.
In arecent legal filingthat cited interview transcripts, official records and emails, the committee argued that Trump was repeatedly told by aides and allies that he lost the election, and suggested that he was knowingly spreading unsubstantiated claims of fraud -- an allegation that could have implications for a potential criminal case against Trump in the future.
Since last year, the committee has conducted more than 600 interviews and issued more than 75 subpoenas, questioning additional White House officials and obtaining thousands of pages of Trump White House records on a rolling basis.
Committee Chairman Bennie Thompson, D-Miss., recently told reporters that the panel is aiming to wrap up its interviews with potential witnesses in the coming weeks, and could begin another slate of public hearings as early as May.
