WASHINGTON, June 29 ― Donald Trump tried to grab the steering wheel of his presidential limousine on January 6, 2021, when his security detail declined to take him to the US Capitol where his supporters were rioting, a former aide testified yesterday.

“'I'm the effing president. Take me up to the Capitol now,'“ Hutchinson quoted an enraged Trump as saying. She said Trump tried from the back seat to grab the steering wheel of the heavily armoured presidential vehicle and lunged in anger at a Secret Service official. She showed messages to unidentified witnesses advising them that an unidentified person would be watching their testimony closely and expecting loyalty.

Speaking in soft but assured tones, Hutchinson, 26, painted a picture of panicked White House officials bristling at the possibility of Trump joining what was to become a violent mob pushing its way into the Capitol, hunting for then-Vice President Mike Pence, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and other lawmakers who were then certifying the victory of Biden over the Republican Trump.Their worries focused on the potential criminal charges Trump and others could face.

Dr Mahathir told me to dissolve Umno at 2018 meeting, says Zahid | The Malaysian InsightDr Mahathir told me to dissolve Umno at 2018 meeting, says Zahid Both are equally evil and unfortunately, we still have both of them around. I'm still curious of what power does the PM have to dissolve another political party without valid reasoning. Why were UMNO politicians afraid of his threat if they THINK they had no wrong?
