A former White House aide on Tuesday described Donald Trump lunging for a Secret Service agent who refused to take him to the Capitol on Jan. 6, trying to grab the steering wheel of the presidential vehicle and throwing plates in anger.
Rep. Bennie Thompson, D-Miss., chairman of the House select committee on January 6, vowed to continue the committee’s investigation into the U.S. Capitol riot despite perceived efforts by some witnesses to evade testifying. “The same people who drove the former president’s pressure campaign to overturn the election are now trying to coverup the truth about January 6.”Four days before Jan. 6, Trump lawyer Rudy Giuliani told Hutchinson that Trump would go to the Capitol.
Cassidy Hutchinson, an aide to former chief of staff Mark Meadows, recounted hearing President Donald Trump express anger over security blocking demonstrators with weapons from entering the Jan. 6 rally.The White House counsel, Pat Cipollone, had serious legal concerns about Trump going to the Capitol, Hutchinson said.
Cassidy Hutchinson, former senior aide to chief of staff Mark Meadows, testified Tuesday that White House counsel Pat Cipollone had warned against Trump’s plan to march to the Capitol. “We have serious legal concerns.”When special agent Robert Engel told Trump he could not go to the Capitol after his Jan. 6 rally, the former president reached for the steering wheel of the presidential vehicle, Hutchinson said. Then he lunged for the agent, she said.
Cassidy Hutchinson, former senior aide to chief of staff Mark Meadows, testified Tuesday that former President Donald Trump had thrown a plate at a White House wall after former Attorney General Bill Barr spoke out against claims of election fraud. “There was ketchup dripping down the wall and there was a shattered porcelain plate on the floor.”Trump backed calls by his supporters to"Hang Mike Pence," Hutchinson said.
