Mr Tony Ornato, a long-time Secret Service agent who was working at the time as a deputy chief of staff to Mr Trump, has told people that Ms Cassidy Hutchinson's account to the House committee isn't consistent with his understanding of the incident, according to a person familiar with Mr Ornato's denial who spoke on condition of anonymity.
Mr Ornato and Mr Engel have said Mr Trump was upset by the Secret Service decision that he couldn't go to the Capitol for safety reasons and grumbled about it, the person said. Ms Hutchinson testified that Mr Ornato gave her the account of the incident while Mr Engel was with them and Mr Engel didn't disagree with any of the details at the time.
Ms Hutchinson's testimony did provide significant first-person recollections from her that Mr Trump was irate about not being allowed to the Capitol, which are not being disputed. Mr Ornato's credibility was questioned by another Trump administration official, Alyssa Farah Griffin. A former White House director of strategic communications, she said in a tweet that he's denied a conversation he had with her.
