reported the pushback on the alleged Secret Service incident from Tony Ornato, who was also a deputy chief of staff in the Trump White House, and Robert Engel, who was Trump’s security chief.
On Tuesday, Cassidy Hutchinson, a former aide to Trump and his final chief of staff, Mark Meadows, appeared before the House January 6 committee for its sixth public hearing. Her extraordinary testimony spanned nearly two hours. When he was turned down, Hutchinson said, Trump tried to seize the steering wheel. Engel grabbed his arm and said: “Sir, you need to take your hand off the steering wheel. We’re going back to the West Wing. We’re not going to the Capitol.”
Questioned by Liz Cheney, the committee vice-chair, Hutchinson said Engel did not dispute the account when Ornato relayed it.
Irrelevant to what was happening on Capitol Hill. Try to stay focused on the issue media.
Under what circumstances should this person be issued with a gun?
broomstick33 The details of the lunge / not lunge are the least of Trump’s worries.
The big news is that Trump knew the demonstrators were armed and ordered them to march to the Capitol and “fight like hell” to prevent a lawful transfer of power. But again, media focused on scandal over crime when it comes to Trump.
Hahaha POTUS losers 🤣
I thought she said he grabbed or went to grab the steering wheel of the vehicle? Not technically a lunge I would think.
Soooo he did in fact want to go to Capitol Hill to lead the insurrection, it's just the lunging at his driver bit that's not true?
So Ornato lied. He was the one there and later didn't refute it.
