The U.S. Secret Service reportedly plans to publicly denounce allegations from former White House aide Cassidy Hutchinson. She testified Tuesday that former President Donald Trump lunged for the steering wheel in order to get to the Capitol to march with protesters Jan. 6.
Hutchinson testified Tuesday that she spoke with the deputy chief of staff for operations, Tony Ornato, in a meeting that U.S. Secret Service special agent Robert Engel was present for. She said Ornato told her Trump became “irate” when he was told he could not go to the Capitol with protesters to protest the certification of the election.
Hutchinson claims Trump said something along the lines of “I’m the f***ing president, take me up to the Capitol now.” When his request was denied, Hutchinson claims Ornato told her Trump reached for the steering wheel, forcing Engel to grab the president and hold him back.
Sources close to the Secret Service denied Hutchinson’s claims and said both Engel and the driver are ready to testify that Trump never tried to attack either man and did not reach for the steering wheel, according to several reports.
