Lowell regularly appears on MSNBC, including as a guest on Morning Joe, The Beat with Ari Melber, and The ReidOut.
[16][17] In November 2021, Lowell broke the story that Trump had called political operatives based at a “war room” in the Willard hotel and asked them about ways to obstruct the certification President Joe Biden's election win the night before the January 6 attack on the US Capitol.
[19][20] Lowell also broke numerous other stories on the January 6 investigation, including the fact that Trump made a call from the White House during the Capitol attack to Republican Senator Mike Lee that was not recorded on the official phone logs,[21] and the US Secret Service turned over only one text message to investigators after the agency was subpoenaed for its communications around the Capitol attack.
