The House Jan. 6 committee held a surprise hearing Tuesday delivering alarming new testimony about Donald Trump’s actions that day.
Cassidy Hutchinson, former aide to Trump White House chief of staff Mark Meadows, testifies as the House select committee investigating the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol holds a hearing at the Capitol in Washington, Tuesday, June 28, 2022.
That language ultimately was used by Trump as he rallied the crowd to “fight like hell” and promised he would join them at the Capitol.Days before Jan. 6, White House counsel Pat Cipollone suggested there were “serious legal concerns” if Trump went to the Capitol with the crowd, Hutchinson recalled. Trump, inside the vehicle, tried to pry the steering wheel away from the driver, Bobby Engel, demanding to be taken to the Capitol.
She also told of helping the White House staff mop up ketchup off the walls of the Oval Office dining room after Trump, learning that “You heard it,” Meadows told Cipollone, she recalled. “He thinks Mike deserves it. He doesn’t think they're doing anything wrong.” Those closest to Trump, including his daughter Ivanka Trump and son, Don, Jr., were imploring staff to have the president take action to curb the violence, the committee has said.
